The back story is unfortunately....highly political and has little to do with the welfare of Americans. The administration here decided not to use its influence as the largest buyer of Medications, and instead bow down to the drug Lobby of this country. Our Government is paying top dollar for drugs in a somewhat hidden subsidation program for medical R&D.
Thus costs have gone through the roof, and the population cannot afford the drugs without help from the very people who could have lowered the cost in the first place.
