American citizens account for 70% of worldwide pharmaceutical sales despite comprising only 4% of global population

The United States is responsible for consuming approximately 70% of the world's total pharmaceutical products. This significant consumption rate is notable given that the country's population accounts for merely 4% of the global total.
In contrast to expectations, the overall health status of the US population remains subpar.

Pharmaceutical products are reported to be a leading cause of death in the country, ranking third after cancer and heart attacks.
