good article. One way to make drugs cheaper is to extend patent life in the US, and enhance patent protection outside the US.

I beg to differ. Asia has been stealing American computer designs for decades, that's one of the reasons PC's have become so cheap. I'm thinking of Taiwanese industrial espionage in particular. "Outsourcing" American industrial secrets has the same effect as outsourcing our manufacturing. We get quality goods cheaper.

Why does everyone hate free trade so much?
