<If the Canadian government will only let them charge $10 a dose, and they willingly sell it in Canada for that price, why do they have to get $230 each when they sell it in USA?>
Because they can. If you read all 2,000+ pages of the "affordable healthcare act" [surely must be a joke name] and the additional 70,000+ pages of "affordable healthcare act regulations] written after the act, but under the color of authority, you find that you are forced to purchase it, If you don't IRS will force you to pay "taxes" extra to cover your non-compliance, that it hires initially some 16,000 new IRS agents and excludes congress, and muslims, as well as some other "special groups", but NOWHERE does it say.. "Big Pharma will have limits set on how much they can charge for drugs in USA" ...... amazing.. just amazing.. who woulda thought... Well.. also.. there is the little issue that it does not provide for any new Doctors to handle the "estimated" 20,000,000 new patients.. [wonder if doctors can handle the overtime?]... Guess, next time congress passes a law, it should read it first? Wait !!! ... Congress is excluded... they have no skin in this game.. free pass... Grant...
