Late in the Clinton administration (1999), the government passed legislation prohibiting itself from negotiating prescription drug prices for Medicare. An obvious kowtow to the drug industry. This explains why up until recently I’ve been paying $255 for a vial of insulin under Medicare but chose to buy it in Canada for $35. Buying outside of the Medicare system saved me $4,500 a year. HR 4680 Medicare RX 2000 Act, Section 201.
