PERCRIPTION DRUGS.

IMPORTING PERSCRIPTION DRUGS



The drug companies say that if Americans start importing their drugs from Canada or other contries, they (the companies) will lose money. Okay, my question is this, if it cost alot of money to produce these drugs, then why isn't the cost spread across the board? Why should Canada have a cheaper price than the United States? If the companies can afford to sell to Canada at a cheaper price, then they can afford to do the same here. Why should we make up the difference? And have you noticed the Glaxosmilthkline ads on tv, stating that all the money from one drug goes to finance another. In other words, we charge this amount so the tax payers won't have to fund research on other drugs. That seems to be the message they are going to give to rationalize the huge cost of drugs.
