don't mean to pontificate but I am sick of hearing about the nasty pharma companies driving up prices when the drug wholesalers and chains should be investigated for gouging their customers and suppliers. Tell me why when something is being sold to a chain for $1.00 and then marked up to $50 that the drug companies get the rap?

Good point, and it reinforces the need for consumers' right to use the power of the Internet to shop around. From the consumer's retail point of view, New Zealand happens to offer the best deals right now, but just as with the market for shoes or memory chips, this can change at any moment. We have no business allowing medicine to go on being a trade-protected industry.

You'd like to limit pharma profits?
