OMG - pharma companies are unregulated on their drug costs in the US???

Watching a programme investigating drug companies and just heard that the US is the only country that doesn't regulate what drug companies can charge for their drugs....

life saving pills that cost 10-20x more in the US than in Europe, and people having to come to Europe for treatment to cut costs, some even having their travel paid for buy the HMO (edit - HMO is that the acronym??)....

Of course, Obama said he's gonna tackle this.

But wow - I didn't know that
