The way Canada gets their drugs so cheap is that they are the principal buyer of all prescription drugs in Canada. It's one of the biggest benefits of their nationalized health care. As the principle buyer, and as a large nation of wealthy individuals Canada says "We'll pay you this much for your drug. You don't like it? Go screw."

We need to do this. It's free market. We don't have to force them, just say "This is all we will pay" No drug company can afford to ignore America.

Also, what Lebell and Ustwo said definetley has to be done. Cut out the fat for the Pharma companies and allow the doctors to make honest decisions for the betterment of their patients, not maximizing profits. Pharmaceutical reps should NOT be allowed to go around to doctors giving them incentives for pushing their new drug.
