What Santorum is not telling us is that if the market actually did set drug prices, we would be paying a lot less than the artificial prices imposed on us within the US. Pharma companies have had the legal system manipulated to prevent Americans from shopping around on the world market. They will go on donating whatever it takes to Santorum and Romney to keep the scam going.
There was a time not too long ago that people sought help from their parish or church when things like this cost too much, or they didn’t have insurance. Then government stepped in and said they could do it better and actually put a lot of churches out of the charitable business. It’s a travesty, really, and in the meantime, church attendance has plummeted. So, you have whole generations growing up outside the church body and learning to depend on the government. What could possibly go wrong?
