Comment on The Cost of My Mother’s Cardiac Care in the United States and Indiaparent

Comments

Please read what I wrote. I never claimed anything about hotel chains, restaurants, etc being located in the US.

I have a list there near the end. it's not all just "blah blah blah". Do I need to honestly do all the legwork here for illustrating the plain and obvious?

This is kinda becoming a huge waste of my time, sorry.

Okay let me give you a specific case. There is a drug for Hepatitis which is crazy expensive in US at $85K. They are licensing it for $2K in India. Even when you factor for cost of living differences, it is still less expensive in India. The drug companies don't care because they can make their profits in the US while making it cheaper elsewhere.
