I just paid $5.3k in the US for four 350mg doses of Albendazole (antiparasitic). This medication is something like $2 or less anywhere else in the world. This is not simply a problem with new drugs, but lack of pricing regulations from the federal government enabling pharma companies to fleece patients and insurance providers.

The U.S. subsidizes the rest of the world.
and pharmaceutical company shareholders look at the operating margins of these companies
Or just allow imports.
