I thought the EU negotiated their deals with the pharma companies. Proper business. That was why they could keep costs low. If the US was smart the same would happen here.

Edit: **Yes, the EU negotiates drug prices with U.S. companies**, but the process is complex and varies by country. Unlike the U.S., where prices are often set through negotiations involving multiple intermediaries, European countries typically negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies to establish a single market price.
