Teema: Re: Dispelling the fear mongering myths about Healthcare outside the US
Ferris Bueller: They also do it at less cost than the US
Yes they do... because they have us to bear the brunt of their costs for them!!!
Look at Canada.... they have cheaper pills than we do, right? But who bears the cost of making those pills.... the cost of the research and the regulatory hurdles and trials and manufacturing??? Thats right, the US does
So our pharmaceuticals dont simply have to recover the actual cost to make a pill, they have to recover the total cost to make and develope a pill... but Canada will only pay them a fair profit for the cost to manufacture the pill, so the burden to pay the cost for the development of that pill goes to you know who, the American public
Now, make the US another Canada, and who are we gonna screw over to research and develope these cheap medicines for us????? Mexico maybe????
The only way the rest of the world gets away with socialism, is because the US does the brunt of their work for them, but once we are all socialists, then who will be left to burden the load????
Sorry, gotta run, later I will explain to you how thinking that health care is a "right" makes you an idiot
