so if i understand it correctly is it becose of the greed of health insurance companies ?

doposud ... Nothing so simple. It’s multi factorial. It’s about Mitch McConnell blocking bills. It’s about pharmaceutical price gouging. It’s about health professionals who overcharge. It’s about dishonest insurance companies. It’s about promises broken by Trump.

OMG it's Nurdrage

Garbage piece. This is a 15 year old’s version of the world.

That"s exactly what that means, we live in a very sick society

What’s terrible is they already have more personal wealth than they or anyone else could ever spend. They just want more and more without any need. They want money and power for the sake of money and power.

This is one of the first things that they teach in economics. Drugs are considered an inelastic good which means the demand for them doesn't change. In a capitalist society, the sky's the limit when it comes to drug pricing as people will always pay because they basically have no alternative. Drugs in other countries cost a fraction of what they do in the US because most governments have strict pricing regulations because of the unethical consequences of not doing so. See exhibit A (America).

Our government is to blame for its function is to introduce laws that protect individuals and allow people to develop into healthy, sensible, and strong characters. Our government must introduce laws that regulate prices. if the government does not work, the government must be ousted by the people and a sensible government must be brought into power.

Well, it' s not disgusting. It's capitalism and free market. Imagine, you invent something that can cure aids for example, would you give it out for free or cheap if you can become very rich out of it? Charitable ppl, never became rich, famous or known ..

Brief explanation yo get taxed aboved 45% and you all are told that you get free healthcare in usa the people get taxed around 27% average and earns double they would get in most of european countries, in USA the people get a car without a downpayment then they have to pay like $600 a month between the loan payment and the insurance and the house loan which probably is above their possibilities then they don't have money to purchase a health insurance and they blame the system. If they buy a car between 5K and 8K car in cash and eliminate that liability and get a cheaper insurance they could afford a health insurance so easily the problem is the people who abuses of the capitalism to get things they can't support.

Mini doc was actually great and worth the time.

Goddamn it comments like these infuriate me to no end. "Greed", what a shitty reasoning is that. People simply are greedy on average, period. That is why capitalist system has established itself, cause it usually makes greed work for the good of all. If greed worked for the good of all here and those pharmaceuticals really ARE overpriced, then greedy me could just manufacture and/or source them myself and undercut all the "big evil pharma", giving people in need access to these medicines at lower cost AND making a ton of profit doing it. For some regulatory reason which isn't explained in this video (I'm not American, maybe it's common knowledge there?) people cannot do that. So you see it's not "greed" that's the problem it's actually some stupid shortsighted regulation somewhere in the system.

@@UNNAM3D82 regulation? No. It's called patent. Patentholders dictate prices. It's still greed. Not all patent holders decide to go down this path. Stop portraying the world as black and white, not everyone is as big of an asshole as people willing to deny people the right to life. Capitalism can work beautifully, hell, it mostly does in the majority of the west. Capitalism is the most fair system we have to date. The problem is the idea that the market should be unregulated. That causes EXACTLY this type of bullshit where the first people on the ball can dictate the terms. The first people on the ball are the ones with money, aka the people with power over the system.

@@smartsalmon1 sorry but you are on the wrong side.

@ dinung rai - actually he’s not. The cost of developing and testing a new drug takes years and is hideously expensive. Which is why it can generally only afford to be done in Europe or North America. Sure, some primitive looking lab in India or China (like the one seen in the video) can reproduce somebody else’s drug for next to nothing, but they’re just following an existing formula, they wouldn’t have a clue how to go about developing something new to treat an otherwise untreatable disease. Nor would they have any motivation to try even if they did know how, because the next lab down the road would just immediately copy it and sell it for even less. What a lot of people don’t seem to understand, and unfortunately this video doesn’t do a great job of explaining, is that with modern medicines (unlike a lot of other consumer products) you are generally not paying for the raw materials and manufacturing cost of that individual dose, you are paying for the many, many years of research and testing that it took to discover that medication in the first place.
