What are you talking about?
The problem with the drug industry is lack of competition. These companies continue to renew their patents and control the markets on drugs even once the patents expire.

Opening markets has nothing to do with who develops the medications, it is a question of greed on the part of the pharmaceutical companies to go beyond the periods they are entitled to control their patents without competition.

It doesn't make sense to me that the drugs are sold to other countries at cheaper prices while the US has to continue to pay high prices for the drugs. A more equitable solution needs to be reached.
