rest of the world pays that we could get for ourselves IF our government negotiated the costs of drugs for us like the governments of the rest of the world do. But then, they consider healthcare to be a right and not a privilige.
Most people would probably just buy online from Canadian pharmacies. They probably should charge some kind of tariff or surcharge on American citizens to make up for their time and inconvenience in supplying the drugs for another country that is too lazy and ineffectual to negotiate for their own, but I am sure it could be structured as a win-win.
We are left with re-importation (oops! only we DON'T have it )until our leaders get their heads out of their collective asses and do something for the common as opposed to the corporate good and negotiate/regulate the costs of drugs.
