re: What is the question?
The question was who pays for the billions in development and mandated approval costs. Those won't go down if the prices are forced down.
Why the drugs are cheaper in Canada. And what would happen if you forced all the prices to the same level.
As for internet drugs, I can get TV sets cheaper too if I buy them off the back of a van.
Down in the bone, where real economic beliefs live, liberals think that almost everything would be cheap and abundant if only we eliminated profit from the equation. If this were true, you would think that the greatest pharmaceutical, industrial, and medical innovations would be coming from collectivist price-controlled societies, and that the standards of living there would be higher than anywhere else.
