The US provides a disproportionate share of the drug company profits and research dollars. So the next time you shell out a hundred dollars a month for a prescription, that the rest of the world is paying $30 or $40, you can take comfort in the fact that you're paying the lion's share of the drug research and CEO salaries of the world's drug companies.Ok... procedures... what about medication? I know people up here in the NE who go to Canada to buy their prescriptions because it's 1/3(or even less) of the cost as in these great United States. That would ALSO be a form of medical tourism.
You people are too damned dumb to realize that our own Medical companies are raking us across the coals while giving huge breaks to the rest of the world.
Sorry, getting meds is not what medical tourism is in my book. Also, getting meds from mexico.... i would not trust.
But i do agree with you. Meds should be cheap here and we should charge the rest of the world up the ass for them.
