Not really. Pharma doesn’t lower prices elsewhere because the US market is basically an all-you-can-earn bonanza. Prices elsewhere are lower because there prices are heavily regulated. They can’t just charge what they want there, nor can they just jack up prices whenever they feel like it

The US healthcare system is just laughable.

That's not what I wrote. I said they charger lower prices everywhere else but those are the realistic prices, you've said it a bit better though calling them heavily regulated. I didn't say they lowered their prices everywhere except the US. The US prices are not the standard to take for other countries. But once they lose that part of the revenue, the companies have to look now where to recover that money, easiest will be to raise prices across all other countries (if they can).
