Saying flurp durp ibuprofen $10/pill?!!? is indicative of ignorance of the system and a basic concept of needing to pay for overhead.
This is ignorance in itself. $10/pill for ibuprofen when its $4.50 for a bottle of 50 at your local pharmacy store? Please explain that system for the ignorant then.

Cutting the salaries of current and aspiring American doctors (homegrown, that is) isn't going to happen.
If you force lower salaries by government mandate, you'll end up getting doctors who speak English but you can't understand, nonetheless. See: otherwise liberal white woman in Canada wailing about "where's my white doctor? I can't understand you."

It's ridiculous to look at the $10 charge for an ibuprofen when you have no idea of how the hospital's contract with your insurance is set up. They could charge $10B for the pill and your insurance may still be paying a simple per diem rate for your stay.
