What are we really talking about? An international relations/trade issue. • Motivating other developed economies to pay more for the R&D that makes up the price of prescription drugs • Figuring out a way to spread the cost of healthcare across the entire population Hint #1: Greatest cost components of healthcare are the 1st and last six months of life Hint #2: The annual tab for a daily cup of Starbucks is $1,003.75
