You guys agree with that line of argument....?

Canadian pharmacuetical companies seem to be getting a decent amount of research done in spite of our lower prices. Same with those in India, so I don't know how much water that argument actually holds. Seems like very little to me.
US drug companies seem to just want to keep prices high and hold Americans hostage to their high prices. I feel sorry for a lot of you but especially the elderly on fixed incomes.
