The media is having a grand old time hyping the evils of "Big Drug Companies". Notice how the evil people that are targeted are always "Big". Heck, even that scumbag Michael Moore is getting into the act.
Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you...one day pharma manufacturing will move offshore because of an unfavorable regulatory and legal environment as well as government price controls. And then everyone will lament at how these evil drug companies could do somwthing so horrible, when all along they helped create the hostile environment that precipitated the move.

Manufacturing of drugs and vaccines is already moving off shore.
People don't seem to understand that the reason Canadians, et.al., can get drugs cheeply, is because if Pharms DIDN't sell to foreign entity's at slightly more than cost, the countries would simply ignore the patent rights of the makers and copy the drugs. Then there would be no R & D at all.
What was the last disease that a government cured?
