In this case, because Canada has price-controls, the prices are artificially low and could not be used to recoup research costs if extended to everyone.

Allowing Americans to buy price-controlled drugs is imposing de-facto price controls in the United States. A typical liberal maneuver as they do not have balls to propose price-controls here, but are happy to tag along with another nation's price controls.

Because the Pharmaceutical Industry owns Congress.
