    Nothing is actually "free".

    It gets paid by your taxes, les. Or at least someone's taxes there in Canada.

    The US actually needs major prescription drug cost reform. Make it legal to buy prescription drugs mail order from first world countries, and the prices of prescriptions in the US will sink.

    And then Pharma never produces Another drug because there ain't money in it unless the USA pays for it.

    F.D.A. Issues First Approval for Mass Drug Imports to States From Canada


    The agency authorized Florida to purchase medicines directly from wholesalers in Canada, where prices are far cheaper. Pharmaceutical companies oppose the plan.

    Jan. 5, 2024

    The Food and Drug Administration has allowed Florida to import millions of dollars worth of medications from Canada at far lower prices than in the United States, overriding fierce decades-long objections from the pharmaceutical industry.

    The approval, issued in a letter to Florida Friday, is a major policy shift for the United States, and supporters hope it will be a significant step forward in the long and largely unsuccessful effort to rein in drug prices. Individuals in the United States are allowed to buy directly from Canadian pharmacies, but states have long wanted to be able to purchase medicines in bulk for their Medicaid programs, government clinics and prisons from Canadian wholesalers

    I disagree. Still big money in it.

    No reason to allow US pharma to gouge only its own country's customers, yet sell for reasonable prices elsewhere.

    Here, take this pill while we take all of your freedom.

    Cool story.
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

    No at all, this is just another of example of parts of the free enterprise that needs be monitored to prevent price gouging.

    Pure greed and profit are producing billionaires like never before in all sectors, pharmaceutical companies among them. I know little about the subject but Todd gave an insight when he responded No reason to allow US pharma to gouge only its own country's customers, yet sell for reasonable prices elsewhere."

    He's saying that the ones you vote for have to set the bar on many things. That's the way it used to be. Today the office holder can take a lobbyists money and simply point the finger elsewhere. That's less freedom than you've ever witnessed

    The reason all workers deserve a living wage is because all workers need to be alive. Not very complex.

    That doesn't mean you're not on pills.

    It just means you have your blood pressure under control.

    It's ok, les, everyone is on pills after age 50. It's hard to get away with BOTH a normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol after 50. Usually heredity will stick you with one or the other (sometimes both) being high, regardless of your lifestyle.

    I'm on blood pressure meds. Both parents are on them, too, so it was pretty much guaranteed it would happen.

    My cholesterol has always been good, and I have never needed any meds for that.

    I'm more concerned about your liver, though.

    You admitted having stents due to cad. That would put u on statins, anticoagulants, a few Bp meds, side effects would have you on acid reducing meds, you have to be on some antidepressants at the minimal. Hmm what am I missing?
