I have a friend who was on some asthma medicine. It was a prescription in the US and cost about $5/pill (if I remember) for a daily pill. Not super duper expensive, but not super cheap either.
I could get it "over the counter" in Thailand for about 1/10 of the price. So, I used to bring some back when I would come back to the US.
(I would swallow it in plastic bags! LOL Just teasing)
That’s unlikely to change directionally. A world where every country paid the same amount is a world with no drug development at all. You wouldn’t want, say, Somalia to set the ceiling for how much we’re allowed to value our lives and health.
The fact that another country's citizens couldn't pay market rate, would not destroy the domestic economic feasibility of the product.
