One of my prescriptions costs $84 a pill. A pill!! And I take 3 a day. I understand pharmaceutical companies have to make $$ but there’s no regulation. Hold them accountable.

The UK does price capping which works well for the most part.

One month supply of my mother's glaucoma eye drops in the USA: $100. The EXACT SAME eye drops she buys when staying with me in the UK every summer per month: £7. Go figure. Health care for profit = no health care.
