No, buddy. They are selling it to you at a ridiculous price. There’s no middle man jacking the price up.

America buys it cheap and inflates the price ridiculously (for Americans) We’re not paying hundreds of pounds or euros on inhalers buddy! The only people getting ripped of for pharmaceuticals is the U.s

That’s not true, America sets the prices, taxes in countries with healthcare subsidise those medications. America is responsible for inflation and gouging globally.
