Ethical healthcare

  From our readings, we learned that the prices paid for drugs are higher in the U.S. than anywhere in the world. What are the reasons for this? And do you think this is okay? Readings: Ethical Health Care, Chapter 5 “The Ethical Obligations of Hospitals,” Darling v. Charleston, (skip “Safe Health Care” and “Intermountain”); “The Ethical Obligations of Managed Care Organizations;” Pegram v Herdrich; and “Ethical Obligations of Pharmaceutical Companies.” (only the listed sections are assigned for reading)
