the rest of the world make all the drugs but do not use the special sauce made from American sucker weed. Sucker enhancement actually makes the drugs cost three or four time more than anywhere else.
I wish we could grow sucker weed.
We do grow plenty of sucker weed, and the government has mandated it’s use.
The suckers (fools) are those who think we pay more than the rest of the world for drugs for some other reason than foreign price controls. The US is one of just a handful of markets where the pharmaceutical industry can still make the profit necessary to support the massive R&D necessary to create NME's. There's a reason the world's drug R&D is headquartered in the USA. Some folks want to kill the last remaining goose laying golden eggs. They're usually the same folks who don't give a rats rear end about anyone else as long as they get theirs.
