Some personal editorializing: This is a pretty remarkable first because of how captive we Americans are to pharma prices. Famously, when Medicare Part D was brought into existence by law it restricted the federal government from negotiating Part D drug prices. To me, shopping for drugs in Canada is tackling the symptom and ignores the cause. I wonder if this gets more traction with more states how it might affect drug prices in Canada, too.

The real solution to all this, of course, would be nationalize the healthcare industry in all aspects and to create a single payer healthcare system.

    America doing imperialism!? :shocked-pikachu:

    Seriously though, the further capitalism plunges into crisis, the more the burger empire will look to its allies in the periphery to exploit. It’s already happening in Europe.
