” We have a bizarre system. The only suggestions I’ve seen so far in this thread are can be summed up as “try and buy it under the table from Mexico or Canada.” Its a sad sign of how beaten-down Americans already are to accept such a system.”
Prices are low in other countries because those countries are socialist.
Also they are charity cases, did you not see that the manufacturer gave away a billion doses for free?
Here few people have the disease and those that do can afford the cost.
Anyone in this country can manufacture the drug and sell it cheaper.
Do it if you think you can make money doing it.
Sell your shinola to some fool pal. You’ve had too much koolaid already.
I liked your post, and you make some good points. But I need to respectfully correct something for the benefit of other readers.
You actually, can buy this Albendazole in powder form, but it is still very expensive. Sorry, I don’t have the exact price.
Anyway, suppose you bought a few thousand pounds of the powder, and you bought a machine to turn powder into pills. We all understand that in the most entrepreneurial country in the world, the task of turning powder into pills is not a very difficult job. However, the second you take your pills over to CVS or Walgreen to sell, the FDA will be knocking on your door with an arrest warrant and you will be spending as many years in prison as I will hosting these parasites. ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTION1
So you and I pay $200 a pill, so that Peru can pay $.0.50/pill? You are willing to support subsidizing both other countries' socialism and USA pharma companies? Why don't we do the same with cars? food?
Its simple - if a crony-capitalist big pharma co can manage to sell in Peru for $0.50, then let American distributors buy their pills there and sell them in the USA.
