Nobody pays that. It's a pre-negotiation price that exists as a factor of many other costs and payments to various stakeholders like PBMs.

“Nobody pays that”

I hate this so much. Nobody knows how much anything costs. What kind of market is this?

> Nobody knows how much anything costs.

Slightly off topic, but I have this exact feeling every time I visit the US and buy stuff in a store.

"Sorry, we don't include tax in the price that is displayed, so you'll need to either figure that out in your head or just pull the slot machine of what you are actually gonna pay at the register."

And don't give me the "taxes are different from place to place" cuz the store ain't gonna change place while I am in it. So much is just psychological warfare in the US, which just has no reason to be...

Health insurance in the US is specifically mostly not a market, because your employer picks your health insurance for you.
