If drugs routed through Canada put a big crimp in drug company profits, they will just stop selling in Canada.

"If drugs routed through Canada put a big crimp in drug company profits, they will just stop selling in Canada."

Exactly......this just shows the inability of the liberal mind to understand the law of supply and demand.

All that these "buy it from Canada" proposals will do is make sure that, through market forces, the price of drugs in Canada will be EXACTLY the same as those same drugs purchased in the US......If that means the prices go up, then the Canadian government will stop it asap.

That, or the companies will bargain harder with Canada's National Health system. If the choice comes down to paying more or going back to applying leeches, I suspect they'll pay more. The only concern I'd have is the socialists up there deciding to break the drug company's patents and produce the drugs themselves. I'd like to see what the "import the cheap drugs from Canada" folks would do then. Would they support importation if the drugs are knockoffs that infringe US firm's intellectual property?
