Years ago the owner of a pharmacy that was delivering oxygen to my father said that he would sell it at a lower price but Medicare set the price (much higher) he had to sell it for.
My assumption is higher prices in the US do help fund research but why should a citizen in the US have to pay more than a citizen in another country? And that foreign country citizen could have better financial resources the US citizen.
I did have contracts with the US government and they required that I sold to them at the lowest price I offered to all customers.
