You don't need to be have a PhD in Economics to figure it out-- Law of Supply and Demand is in action--
Demand (a lot of money from "universal" insurance coverage) is high and supply is limited (by restrictive import regs) means prices will be high. When "someone else" (insurance) is paying for it, nobody worries about cost.
Have you forgotten how cheap generics were before BO-Care? Now many are no longer even available (tetracycline & erythromycin come to mind).. Why bother? Insurance will pay for the expensive ones.
That's also the reason college tuition skyrocketed when govt backed loans became so easy to get.
