Jon Stewart argues that pharmaceutical companies have historically exploited American consumers while receiving federal subsidies.

“Pharma has exploited the American consumer while we have in turn subsidized their whole industry with tax incentives and direct funds.”

Pharmaceutical prices in the United States should be lowered to match those in other countries through aggressive negotiation while maintaining innovation.

“Most favored nation drug pricing. It specifically addresses the problem you outlined, which is we just pay a bunch more for the exact same product made the same factory often in America than our counterparts do here in Europe.”
