  • American here with asthma. I can buy my inhaler over the counter for about $6 a canister in Mexico. I needed some more recently so I went to the local pharmacy with a prescription and it was $95 for two canisters with my high deductible insurance! The pharmacist looked up the cash price and it was $50! Why the higher price? The cash price doesn’t go towards meeting my deductible. The insurance company is supposed to be negotiating on my behalf! Where is the "efficiency of the private sector?” Healthcare and insurance are broken in this country.
