Prescription Drugs: Are we Subsiding Socialized Medicine?

Prescription Drugs are expensive.  Americans have many problems that require prescriptions.  So, why can't Americans get the same prices, for prescription drugs,  as countries with socialized medicine.  

The answer is simple.  First other countries are charged for the cost of manufacturing the drug with a small profit margin.  Americans are charged for the cost of manufacturing the drug, the cost of research and development, and get to pay a large profit margin.

How can this be?

Again simple, other countries with socialized medicine will only pay so much for the drug.  There is no free market for that drug in countries with socialized medicine.  Countries with socialized medicine use preventative medicine and education.  A person also would not see programs in America that focus on dirty homes or programs that attack the fast food diet.  The countries with socialized medicine do see programs that focus on being healthier.  This means those countries also use less prescriptions.

The United States of America uses a medical system that treats for ailments.  The system does not encourage health.  Plus, American's are bombarded with prescription drug ads, which is a unique thing to our country.

This is something to think about, if the USA only treats the ailments, and we are charged for R&D of a prescription drug, are we subsidizing socialized medicine that other countries enjoy?
