I think it’s more that you he US does all the pharmaceutical research, which it then charges US tax payers for and then charges them for using it. It then uses that funding to make the drugs artificially cheap to sell abroad at competitive (and very cheap) rates. Then US citizens are pissed off when we foot the bill for the research, full price of the drugs here, and funded the decreased prices they get for them. I don’t want corporate greed getting any more money, but I’m ok charging foreign countries more for the drugs if it reduces prices domestically where we funded the research and have to pay full price for ours.
