Well, if the US decided to not offer medicine on a realistic price point, other nations would do what the US did with Germany's Bayer, back when Anthrax was a concern: Cancel the patent on the only Anthrax medicine available due to "national security".

Don't blame the world for your Pharma executives needing a third private jet for their mistresses.
