The term 're-importation' is just a smokescreen. It applies only to American-made drugs sold to other countries at a lower price than in the US. What we're actually for is the right to buy on the worldwide market.
The low prices we pay for all that stuff at Wal-Mart are set on the worldwide market, including the American-made goods sold there. Our jobs are shopped on the worldwide market, meaning that we have to compete against Indians and Chinese. Why should drug manufacturers enjoy special socialist price-fixing privileges not available to the rest of us?
You mean the USA is SOCIALIST. Hey bud the price-fixing takes place here! Get your head on straight. The drug companies willingly sell these drugs to Canada/Mexico etc at that price and MAKE money doing it. If they didn't they wouldn't do it. Sheeesh get a clue!!! The socialist market is here. The drug companies are subsidized through our taxes (Medicaid, Senior plan etc) and the insurance companies and this results in outrageous prices for those of us who pay DIRECT. I pay for a large part of my own drugs and would have to pay the outrageous inflated American prices if it wasn't for importation. The cash price on these drugs is not real and is a direct result of the insurance companies and government. Now go suck up the Drug industry PR generated line that is completely socialist.
