Yes - the recipe calls for chemicals that are almost impossible to get. Its a TV show - providing an easy to obtain, easy to cook method for producing drugs is strangely not on the agenda - I wonder why?
Other than that the cartoon in the OP could have been set in many countries with the same outcome - from France (which has the best healthcare in the word) to the UK to Cuba to even Greece (Although right now I am not sure they'd be able to get you the drugs you need due to limited funds).
In the meantime consider this:
The US has the most expensive health care in the world whilst its world ranking for quality is about 53rd. The next most expensive system in the world is the French system which costs about 50% per capita of the US system and, as I stated above, is rated as the best in the world.
If the US outsourced its healthcare to France entirely, for the whole population of the US and allowed the French to make a 50% mark-up from cost it would still save the US about 25% of its total healthcare costs, whilst ensuring that its entire population were covered (with the highest quality healthcare available on the planet).
And the US says it can't afford a healthcare system - tee hee.
