Health Care Mythology

[G8rMom7]

This is kind of long, but I found it pretty interesting. I'm obviously just now learning about all the complexities of this issue but I never understood why Canadian drugs are cheaper.

So, repeat after me. We could go with the Canadian system and have super cheap drugs, if only we can find a much bigger, more medically advanced, freer country right next to us to make miracle drugs for themselves, and then we insist that we pay them only a bit above their variable cost for our share, and then they in turn agree to let us be their parasite. Mexico, would you mind helping us out?
