General Discussion

when all the other Western countries pay PENNIES for the same prescription drugs? It's especially galling when you consider that our taxes are SUBSIDIZING the development of those drugs! The pharmaceutical industry is getting so many tax breaks and kickbacks in the US and we are the ones getting gouged. Why can't we get aggressive and STOP it. Not just oh, hey, you only have to pay $2,000 per year. NO. I want to pay the same thing they are paying in Canada or Australia.

And I hate to say it, our policies are better, but we do not enact them. We just don't. The republicans propose evil things, and they get them done. Why don't we actually get things done? It makes us look weak. I am sorry to say, but this is one reason I think people get frustrated. We have to actually follow through with promises.
