Put Price Controls on all Prescription Drugs or Prohibit drug companies from charging more in the USA than in Canada.

Created by R.C. on February 10, 2013

PRICE CONTROLS on prescription drugs will REDUCE health insurance premiums & MEDICARE/MEDICAID taxpayer cost. We can do it FAST & avoid a costly Bureaucracy to start out just pass a one page law "Illegal to sell any drug in America for a price that is higher than the price it is sold for in Canada." Fine-tune it later if necessary to REASONABLY encourage research. Big drug companies are getting too rich & we subsidize drug consumers from Canada to China, most countries have PRICE CONTROLS on drugs sold there. By way of example, a 90 day supply of "Spiriva" cost over $800 in USA and only about $200 in either UK or Canada. Taxing big drug companies is NOT EFFECTIVE; they just pass the cost on to drug consumers. See foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2013/01/24/why-one-drug-costs-25k-year/
