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?
I was referring specificlly to American-made drugs sold to other countries at a lower price than in the US. This is only because these socialist countries will accept no other way and threaten our drug companies patents if they wont sell at the fixed price.
I reiterate, if drug companies prices are artificially forced down, fewer new drugs will come to market and people will die!
If you're comfortable with that that's your problem. I'm not.
