Here's What It Really Means

It’s called the “Most Favored Nation” rule. The idea is that Americans should pay the same for prescription drugs as people in other countries.

And if drug companies don’t cooperate? The government could revoke their approvals or start importing cheaper alternatives.

It sounds like a pricing issue—but it actually exposes something deeper.

The American Healthcare System Was Built to Profit off Illness

In Canada, I’ve seen Americans cross the border just to buy insulin. Same drug—different price.

Why?

Because the U.S. system doesn’t just sell drugs. It sells access.

Insurance companies act as a middleman.

Most people think insurance protects them. In reality, it controls which treatments you’re allowed to get—and at what cost.

You’ve probably heard stories of someone paying $5,000 for a procedure through insurance… only to find out they could’ve paid $2,500 or even $500 in cash.

This isn’t random. It’s systemic.

The U.S. healthcare model doesn’t price drugs based on cost—it prices them on what people can afford.

That’s why Americans spend more than anyone in the world—and still have the worst health outcomes.

66% of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are from medical debt.

People work their whole lives, save for retirement, and lose it all in the end… just trying to stay alive.

This Executive Order Is a Crack in the Wall

This executive order is the first real threat to a system that’s profited off people’s pain for decades.

And it signals something important:

We’re starting to question not just how much we pay for healthcare—but why we’re paying so much in the first place.

Until next time,
