Canada subsidizes drugs for the sheeple hence prices are lower. In the U.S. the government does not so drug companies set the price they want.

Quite a lot of the research that the drug companies use was done using public universities and grants so to say we do not subsidize them is not entirely accurate.

You're right. Maui has a lot of babble. The Canadian government buys the drugs for $1 and in turn sells them to their citizens for 60 cents. Here in the US the drug companies sell us their drugs for $1 and we pay $1.
