The difference between the countries in this example being that the world's biggest economy and richest nation can't afford to or won't take care of the health of its people. Brazil is a latin american, middle income nation plauged with centuries of corruption and is still improving its situation.

One of things I noticed when I was there was that every 6th shop or every street seemed to be/have a pharmacy and this wasn't even in a densely populated area.
Never seen as high a concentration of pharmacies in all my life. Any idea why?
Can you just buy drugs there without a prescription?
