    I dont pay $5 for a med in my country simply because an American pays $460 for it. It doesn’t work like that.

      We are in a global economy. If the medicine is produced by the same company, there is some connection there. I’m not saying its 1-1 correlated, but it is unlikely the prices are completely independent. Companies are constantly adjusting the prices of their services from location to location, and all the money ends up in the same pot at the end of the day.

        I know it from experience that the several hundred dollar payments affect availability of some treatments in the EU. Why sell in the EU if you can scam US customers with it?
