yes it is The Medical Proffesion has alowed prices to skyrocket out of control, tosee a docotor, an MRI ect ect and Pharactial Companies control the prices on their medications, espcizaly the new one, that is why most peole now try to use generics, if avaialble but some medications are is still under patent to the companies and genenrics if i am not misaken can not be created or developed for 5-7 years to do patent rights on new drugs.
If Pharmcutiacal Compies do not have control over thier pricing and Docotors and or Hosptials do not control what they charge who does?? the Goverment doesn't, the Governement does not set the prices for Medication or Meidical Services, the Pharmacutical Companies set thier own Price sand Hosptial do the same, our Medical Industry, Pharacutial Companies and Doctors a swell as Hospitals in this ocuntry are100% UNREGULATED by the OUR Goverment, which allow all 3 to charge what ever they want for goods and servies
You go to a Pharmacy to buy say tylonol and pay $5.50 or slightly more for 100count bottle of Tylynol, if you into a Hosptial and askfor one, your bill will showed they charged you $5.00-$10 for 1 pill, which is what you pay for a whole bottleif you buy one
Why, because they are all unregulated, no that does not mean the Govemrent should "Socialise" these Companies orDoctrs or Hosptial, what it does mean is at Goverment does not control what Pharmacutical Compies, Doctors nd Hosptial can charge or their good and services, so we pay what they want to charge us and ger away with it, th Goverment does not intervene
