Believe me, I'm not defending the medical industry prices. I think they are outrageous as well. I don't know about the lift you speak of but it must indeed be awfully expensive chrome--probably guaranteed not to sliver off into someones butt..

Pricing now is determined by the "because they can" method. In my realm, everything is made overseas, in just a few places so that's not the determining factor anymore. As to Mexico (and many many other countries) prices are undoubtedly lower--but then so is everything else. And, since we have this quaint little organization called the FDA to keep happy in the US, there is also a lot of stuff available in those countries that can't be sold here, and a lot of stuff that has been removed for various reasons here goes there which also lowers the price.
