Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

I don't disagree but it seems to me it's going crescendo, with de facto monopolies running the show and buying anything that could be an obstacle, be it other companies or policymakers.

So if it makes sense to charge people in India 1/4 the people in the US why can't we pretend we are in India? People travel to other continents for healthcare.

I suppose the argument would be, yes that's fine as long as you only use it in India...? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, not saying I agree but it's hard to make a comparison like that I think.
