Why are drug prices so high in America? Trump doesn’t have the right answer | Susi Geiger and Théo Bourgeron

The article discusses the high drug prices in the United States and disputes the claim made by former President Donald Trump that other Western countries are to blame. The authors, Susi Geiger and Théo Bourgeron, argue that pharmaceutical companies are primarily responsible for the exorbitant drug prices in America. The article states that Trump's solution of blaming foreign governments for getting better deals on drug prices is not the right answer. Instead, the authors suggest that the issue lies with the pharmaceutical industry's profiteering and the lack of effective regulation in the U.S. healthcare system. The article emphasizes that the high drug prices in the U.S. are not due to other countries' policies, but rather a result of the pharmaceutical industry's ability to maintain a lucrative market and the absence of effective measures to control drug prices in the American healthcare system.
