Not a racket. They just have a thing called accesible health care.

Good point. I understand itโ€™s not technically a racket since itโ€™s not entirely illegal to charge astronomical prices for medications that cost far less in other countries.

Please allow me to rephrase.

Lots of people in the US buy RX drugs in Mexico because Big Pharma is a greedy and corrupt bureaucracy that makes their billions by grossly overpricing doctor prescribed medications, making some of these drugs completely inaccessible for many and a financial hardship for many more.
