Interesting. Thanks. Will follow the series.

Often medications are obscenely expensive. Some 20 years ago I noted that most new medications coming into the market were, for some reason - almost as a rule - all priced around $25-35 a month. Nowadays, they upped it to $50 - 90 a month or more. (These are just anecdotal observations, of course, fwiw). Remember that many people take several medications. Anyway, it is not surprising that such large amounts af cash changing hands have attracted criminals.

By paying more for medications than other countries the US, in effect, has been subsidizing pharmaceutical R&D for the rest of the world. It seems that the Big Pharma pressed Americans a little too hard, and we are getting tired of giving everyone else a free ride. jmho.
