pnutjam's Journal: Drugs from Canada

I am getting really sick of all this talk of re-importation of drugs from Canada. It's really ludicrous.

The reason drugs are cheaper in Canada is because there are govermant mandated price caps. Lots of countries do this because it is politically popular and simple. The main argument against this is that the price caps cut into R&D. I'm not really sure if price caps are the way to go or not, but that's not really the issue I'm addressing right now.

If we want cheaper drugs we should vote price caps on drugs. Lets discuss the real issue instead of hiding it behind the re-importation issue. Re-importation is ridiculous. Our elected officials should call a spade a spade.
