Ok, but if an American pharma co. can turn a profit at $8 a pop from


drugs they ship to Australia, they should be able to turn a profit for far less than the $1000s per pop on drugs they don't have to ship to Australia. They could have focused more on the difference in patent laws between the two countries, and whether necessary research and development requires higher pricing in the US during its entire patent period in part because of different laws abroad, which provide less protection for new innovative products.

I don't doubt the massive abuses in the drug industry. But I think it is also becoming a political target of convenience heading into the next election cycle. A nice demon to pursue to impress voters. And I think AOC mostly excels at that sort of thing.
