So there is nationalized healthcare (for some) in the USA -- Medicaid/Medicare.
Guess who gets the bill?

As someone who for years paid cash for my medication I can tell you first hand that there are different prices for medicines for different people. Many pharmacies have one price they charge insurance companies, another that they charge medicare/medicaid and another that they charge cash paying customers. Many of them mark up the cash price to make up for the lower amount they might get by medicare or insurance.
