This is asinine. SHould a poor person be able to get a need based scholarship to a University, then sell that scholarship to the highest bidder? Many American deugs are sold at discount prices to poorer countries (and socialist ones.) Those sales cover the incremental costs of making the drugs, but not the upfront costs of developing them. Should the US gov't ban the selling of any product to another country at less than the cost they are sold here?
In many cases, there is little or no cost for getting a drug approved in a country. (Compare that to the billion or so dollars it may cost here.) Should those countries pay higher prices to subsidize our American FDA?
BUMP
If a country wishes to have an expensive FDA approval process such as we do in the United States, then of course our drugs will be more expensive and, supposedly, safer. If an American wants to take a calculated risk on using a cheaper import version (so long as it hasn't violated a patent, trademark and is properly labeled), we should be big enough boys and girls to make that decision without the nanny government looking over our shoulder.
