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

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

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?

Capitalism is what raised the cost.

And people are already accessing them without his permission.

Where do you think the drugs are made at, Dufus?

India and China some in Japan.

Ingredients from all over the world.

Column: Where do prescription drugs come from? Good luck answering that question

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.

I thought Canada's low cost drugs were because of socialism. So it appears that the OP is claiming that the solution to high costs in capitalism is to go find socialism.

Yet another example of how Donald has turned his cult inside out.

Not really. Have you put any thought into how something can be developed here, made here, shipped there and sold back to us for less?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

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?

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.

How did capitalism do that? Under capitalism they would be cheaper here. Regulations are causing it..

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

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.

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.

Good first start

I'm fine with it but there will be diminishing returns.

But it can't hurt.

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.

You lefties are so retarded it's not even funny. This is a brilliant way to get Big Pharma to lower their costs. The drugs are made here, dummies.

What ever it takes to make the deal. Obviously capitalism isn't able to get prices lower.

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?

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.
