Good discussion on Pharma and “free trade”. IMO, the fact that US Pharma are forced to export at fixed prices to socialist countries and cannot seem to defend their patents against many of these trading partners is wrong.
In this case the only Free Trade is that the rest of the world gets a free ride on the back of the USA...screw em and let them pay as much or more than we do or do it for themselves.
Unfortunately, drugs are also sold at lower prices to free-market countries like Switzerland because that's what their market will support. In fact, American drugs are sold at lower prices in every foreign country.
