In the end, it really settles out to "who" should be paying the price  that 
allows such a profit. hy do you think that so many seniors who live on the  
northern border cross over and buy their prescription pharmaceuticals in 
Canada  and what supports the large number of Internet pharmacies.
 
In the instant case the U.S. market subsidizes the world and Americans are  
left with either high brand name prescription prices or having to resort to 
 using generally inferior generic pharmaceuticals. Yes, I know that they 
tell you  that they all contain the same active ingredients but you need to 
look further  than that. Are these AA, Ab or even lesser comparable generic 
pharmaceuticals.  Remember that any capsules (and these are really 
distribution medical devices in  the most primitive exemplar of that category) 
or 
tablets have inert or other  components that will most probably be inferior in 
generics vs. name brand  pharmaceuticals.
 
Much of this problem could be resolved in a simple manner.  Simply  apply a 
tariff of 200% of the differential  in price between the lowest  price that 
the export of the identical or pharmaceutically equivalent (got to  have 
something to catch the same device that appliance manufacturers use to  
prevent or mitigate price comparison guarantees by changing a small 
non-critical  
part and then applying a different part or product SKU for each major  
distributor, e.g. Sears, Best Buy so there really isn't an "identical product"  
at a competitor) and the highest list price for its sale in the U.S. Not a  
price control, just price equity. A manufacturer can charge whatever the 
market  will bear, just requiring price equity. It would also avoid those 
stupid 
 restrictions that Congress likes to put on appropriations legislation that 
 prohibit government agencies from negotiating prices with a pharmaceutical 
 manufacturer or require other competitive pricing. And you thought that a  
"lobby" was where you waited for someone to come down from their hotel  
room.  In that way, everyone who benefits from a pharmaceutical contributes  to 
the admittedly high and high risk costs of drug development.
 
Just as there is another simple solution for health care in American. Just  
eliminate ALL government funding for research and acquisition of  
pharmaceuticals for the treatment of HIV-AIDS and commit that funding to  
research 
and drug development relative to heart, stroke and vascular diseases,  
Diabetes and non-HIV-AIDS related, e.g. Camposi's Sarcoma, Cancer(s). This  
(HIV-AIDS) is a syndrome that is virtually universally preventable and the  
modalities of transmission indicate that one might say that the high-risk  
behaviors that transmit make it almost voluntarily acquired. I don't care how  
one 
behaves, nor if an individual wishes to make a non-tax deductible  
contribution to a specific field of research, I just don't want to fund it or  
participate in it. In fact, some might say that HIV-AIDS is simply Darwinism in 
 
action and such preventive research simply acts in defiance of natural  law.
 
Now, I shall simply let further postings, perhaps those lesser in  
compassion, to Dr. Ken, who I feel states many things in a suitably accurate 
and  
precise manner requiring no further input from me.
