Because they refuse to pay what we pay. And, of course, if the drug companies only get a 1000% markup in Canada instead of the 5000% markup they get here ... it's still a darn good profit margin and they'd be nuts not to take it.
Canada refulates it's drug prices. After the American taxpayer has been forced to help fund the R&D of those drugs. But our drug prices aren't regulated.
Pretty sweet deal for Canada if you ask me.
Yes, Canada has long waiting lists before people can see a doctor, yet their life expectancy is still greater than that in the U.S.
Makes you wonder if it might be the doctors making people sick. The longer it takes to see one, the healthier the population is.
That's a head scratcher.
