It's all about soaking the rich Americans. Price gouging, suppose to be illegal, but never fear, our laws will be enforced regarding that nassy problem, some day.

I don't know, but for some reason every Democrat on the block says Canada is cheaper even though WE make the stuff. As though Canada is superior.

I am just trying to figure out the substance of this debate.

I think you and Maui_Hawaii have something. I buy high BP drugs and Diabetes supplies both here for 3 months a year and overseas for 9 months. My overseas costs are pennies to the dollar of American prices. What is noticably different are:

1. Law suit damages are limited to actual damages.

2. Advertizing is zilch.

3. The regulatory environment is very low (everything except narcotic drugs are sold over the counter -- only requiremnet is that a pharmicist (sp?) supervise the store)

4. There is virtually no insurance coverage for drugs.
