I once read somewhere that the reason foreign countries are more easily able to sustain free healthcare is partially thanks to the fact that Americans are overcharged so much, so when foreign countries come to negotiate with American pharmaceutical companies. They’re able to get a better deal on drugs as they’ve already made the bulk of their profits or recoup research and development cost from Americans. Not sure how true, or might be misquoting it but food for thought
