<< You are suggesting that either people in Europe and elsewhere are healthier than we are(probably true) and therefore demand fewer doses of medication than we do--OR-- that the drug companies have manipulated supply here in order to keep the prices up. >> Nope, neither of these is the reason. We simply have more doctors willing to prescribe the drugs and more insurance companies willing to pay for them and more people willing to pay when the insurance companies don't. All of that equals more demand. Dave
