They already signed a law making meds up to 50% more expensive for people who have public insurance. 7,50€-15€ from 5€-10€ originally.

That has nothing to do with the US and it's clear misinformation. The increase was made to cover more of the insurance costs and give a bigger incentive to only buy necessary medication. This is necessary because of demographics. Also it is still capped at 2% of your yearly household income to avoid overburdening anyone. Unimaginable in the US
