I tend to agree with your observations.
Farma business is a huge business everywhere but in the former communist European countries it seems it is the wild-wild-west and many people are kept on a leash between life and death so they pay as much as possible for as long as possible.
I hope you are well!
I wonder how much they can pay. Because if they have to raise 3500 euros for a life-saving operation through a charity campaign, then people can't pay much, or at least not for long.
I think the concept of the pharma/medical mafia is very wrong in this country. Or is it somehow more humane, at the same time: the prices here are high, for everything, especially for medicines, and everything has to be paid for by the patient. When a person has no money, he simply dies. When there is some money, or some money is raised through a campaign, the agony is simply prolonged for a few years, but the end is still fatal. Therefore, it is better when a person has no money than if he has some 😂
