Spend billions developing new drugs and getting them approved
Then sell them to socialist medical systems around the world at highly discounted prices, and then
Charge all the development costs to the American consumer.
Not only the "government and media" sees a problem here.
That’s why a measure to allow the import of prescription drugs into the U.S. might be so effective. This will do a far better job of leveling prices across national borders than any price controls here would do — because pharmaceutical firms would have to make up the lost revenues by charging similar prices in every market.
This may be a good idea, it may be a bad idea. But if Republicans dont come up with a way to control costs soon, the Democrats will do it for them. Its really that simple.
