Winning: Trump To Allow Americans To Access Lower-Cost Drugs From Canada

[Missouri_Mike]

It should cause some concern when you're wanting cheaper drugs but the only way to get them cheaper is after they ship them to a foreign country first.

Now, this is the post of the week.

If they are indeed being made here, and I do not know that for certain, they do actually manufacture drugs in Canada as well, why are they so much cheaper there?

Let’s say they are made there. It’s a simple recipe to send to a manufacturer. Just like here. So that must not be it. Labor costs are comparable. Shipping is about the same. Packaging isn’t a big deal.

Must be something else.

Our fucked up healthcare and insurance system? Could that be it?

If you mean government intervention then yes.

Capitalism will drive down the costs.

News flash! I've been buying prescription medications from Canada for a decade or more.


Not sure what he's trying to take credit for.

How? Do you know a crooked Canadian Doctor?

I know several senior's who have been purchasing from Canada. I also did a few years back on one particular drug and although I purchased from Canada it was shipped from India.

Drop shipped direct from the manufacturer.

So much for Trump's buy American campaign!

No shit! It's like he's orchestrating new levels of hypocrisy. Wasn't this Bernie's idea anyway?

It was. Bernie even presented it. Is the argument now that Bernie had a great idea?

Let's see if Trump actually ever follows through.

You're right Bernie did a few years back.

And scuzzball Cory Booker voted against it. It's why he is wasting our time running

So what you're saying is that Capitalist American health care is a failure, and that socialist Canadian health care has succeeded in keeping costs for our citizens reasonable, while Americans continue to be gouged.

Thank you for admitting the inadequacies of your market forces.

Without American capitalism you wouldn’t have the drugs at all. The government is causing the high prices.

Canadian doctors Banting and Best discovered a way to produce insulin to treat diabetes.

Stem cells were discovered in Canada and that lead immediately to bone marrow transplants to treat leukaemia and cancer.

Canadian Jonas Salk discovered the polio vaccine.

Canadians also mapped the genome.

Germans have more drug research than the USA, but patents are filed in the USA because of your patent protections.

And? Have you put any thought into why it is more expensive here?

By law, our government can't negotiate drug prices. Those unfairly high prices are set by pure capitalism.

Cheaper in Mexico too.

Obama was a complete failure and irrelevant now.

Pure capitalism isn't highly regulated.

Regulations and tort laws have almost destroyed competition. Many drugs have zero competing drug, giving monopoly contr.

Less regs and lawsuit abuse would increase competition.

Probably because running for Prezzie these days provides ample lucrative financial opportunities to either party.

If Trump follows through, I will applaud him.
However, I doubt very much that Canadian pricing would do much for me. But knowing there are poor and elderly who are in dire straits due to the greedy pharmaceutical cocksuckers. I hope Trump isn’t bullshitting America again.

Booker has long been backed by the pharmacuetical industry.

Don't be so hard on them. They can't help themselves. Every so often they just have to say "but Obama" I think it's a specialized form of Tourette's, that only effects Trump supporters.

How do you figure? Capitalism is all about making a good product cheap enough to sell millions of them. By law we must have worse laws than all of those other countries. Why else would a capitalist sell there? It’s not like they’re taking a loss. If it wasn’t profitable to sell in Canada they wouldn’t do it. Yet it is profitable. Maybe you should be asking why it’s profitable to sell in Canada but it is only profitable in the US at twice that price.

Nothing wrong with a business creating a drug and profiting off it.

The problem comes in when thousands of people want to profit off it.

Like the investors that financed it? They don’t seem to have a problem selling at the Canadian price so what is the difference here?

Corrupt state comptrollers and Congress and Big Pharma bribing them with impugnity.

Don't bust your gizzard ignoring the point.

Obama had 8 years to make Canadian drugs legal and didn't. Perhaps the pharm companies purchased Obama's support. Perhaps it's just not going to make a huge impact.

It would be profitable in the US at a much lower price than they have now. just not as profitable as they want.
