I hear a lot of crowing about interfering in a free market. So maybe then let’s HAVE a free market in prescription drugs. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to buy them over the interwebs from a pharmacy in the nation where they are cheapest?
Today France, tomorrow Canada, next week Japan.
The reason they have us over a barrel is that US Govt laws make it very difficult to buy from foreign sources. It’s an enforced monopoly so I wish everyone would stop with the “market” jibber jabber. America is not experiencing free market as it currently is.
Exactly, free market pharma people immediately lose interest in free markets as soon as you talk about re-importation or any kind of reforms around patents.
IMHO one of the main reasons that this country is likely to go socialist in what’s left of my lifetime is the fact that Corporate America keeps pushing every edge of every envelope to the outermost limits and beyond.
People are collectively running out of patience. This issue is a prime example.
