The fact that they get the drugs cheaper than us is still a moral crime, even if it looks like good business to the companies.
It’s something you can never explain to the public. If Canada wants them cheaper than us let them use their taxes for it. Add to it that our military protects them, and our debt is exploding.
Let Obama explain it to his Marxist friends.
I not buying into the author’s analysis. Selling at variable cost on an ad hoc basis for overruns is OK. When it is part of the permanent pricing plan, it is discriminatory. Do I hear predatory pricing against the US citizens? Stop selling to Canadians unless they pick a good share of the development costs. If Canada doesn’t like it, let Canada develop their own drug industry and recoup the development costs from their own citizens.
The drug companies could do the same thing here in the United States as they are doing in Canada, they could sell the drugs at the variable cost to state welfare agencies, Medicaid and Medicare.
