BS

Look at BAYERN. They are a very well established pharmaceutical company in EUROPE. They have been on the forefront of pharmaceutical medicine that the US asked them to ship trillions of pills at the cost of 0.01 cent each of the only pill that could prevent ANTRAX.

There is much more then just the US, my friend. Don't tell me that you are driving a crysler or a dodge... maybe a ford because you do not want to save moeny and do that little step to help the environment by driving a toyota prius or a honda hybrid.

I had the fortune to be born in a different country and incredible journeys with my parents around the world. US is not on top of everything. Maybe in medicine but not in health care... those ARE two different things...
