You also left out the part where a lot of these drugs are only developed because the drug companies believe they can recoup their costs through high prices in the US. The same drugs are often given away essentially at cost or below cost in other parts of the world, because it would be economically or politically infeasible to do otherwise. Since you're a BS supporter, just think of it as the price you pay for all that white patriarchical privilege. People in India get the pill for 50 cents, but you have to pay 50 dollars, shitlord.


Huh. So these companies make zero profit in Canada? Zero profit in India? Zero profit in the US when selling to the VA? Or worse, negative profit that must be recouped by overcharging in the US?

Soooooooo... why do they go to the expense of exporting their drugs to these countries in the first place?

You're the guy who suggested pay raises for public employees should be decided by public referendum every time, right?
