The author fails to mention that marketing costs for a new drug can easily be greater than the R&D costs. That's one reason why drug advertising is banned in Canada. THe other reason is that the Canadian government does not want a glut of patients going to their doctors to get a prescription as a response to the advertising. Business would be up for doctors and that would make the government have to pay more for healthcare. Free speech is another victim of socialism in Canada.

Also I didn't want to write a book... Just start a discussion about a political issue.

Many here have already made GREAT points.
