Let us hope that it only gets better. Those price differences are mind blowing! I sincerely appreciate what Mark Cuban is doing.

Something has probably been lost in translation here: I do not know what is so mind blowing. That's the price of generic drugs.

Is it that generic drugs are not available in USA?

Assume that you do not have any insurance and have to buy some drug

Analysis of the industry found that 64 cents of every dollar spent on generic drugs is absorbed by the supply chain that moves medications from manufacturers to patients, with half of that markup taken by pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens.

Here is an article

From the article

The highest aggregate savings found in the study were $293 million on an acid-reflux prevention medication called esomeprazole, which is available under Medicare for $160 per 90 tablets, but costs just $17 for the same quantity on Cuban's site. Even Costco members pay 43% less than Medicare does for generic prescriptions, a prior study found.

The second highest aggregate savings was $241 million from the cholesterol treatment rosuvastatin, which costs half as much on Cuban's site as Medicare pays through Part D
