Quite a few reasons. The left will blame the pharmaceutical industry for being greedy. They'll say you can get the same drugs in another country for less. Well, that might be true but there are reasons why it's so much more here.
In what country does any professional have to buy insurance at around 250k a year just as protection from blood thirsty lawyers?
In what country can you turn the TV on at any time after 10:00 PM and see commercials from law firms trolling for class members to take down some major drug manufacturer? None, save one. This one.
Add in the outrageous costs to set up a sterile factory environment imposed by Osha and the rest of the nanny state government agencies who's only function is to levy fines and sanctions.
Plus, many countries have set up mandated price fixing to ensure their citizens do not pay their share of the cost of producing the drugs in the first place. That leaves just this one to make up the difference.
Someone has to pay for all that krapola. It's us, the U.S. consumer.
