In the video, Liz also raised questions on the American health system. He said that India provides relatively cheap health services to its citizens, whereas in America people are charged huge amounts in the name of medicines and treatment. He said, “We are being looted in America, while India provides affordable health services to its people.”
However, it is important to note that drug prices may vary from country to country due to a number of factors such as patents, insurance systems, government policies, availability of generic drugs, and health systems. The claims made in the viral video have not been independently verified.
