I got this from an older friend: A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market. A toy company can outsource to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market. A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market. We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico. We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh. We can purchase almost anything we want from many different countries. BUT, heaven help the elderly who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian (Or Mexico) pharmacy. That's called un-American! And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again! The same U.S.F.D.A. that controls imports of Argentine Beef, fruit from Chile, vegetables from Mexico, etc; says they can’t ensure the purity of drugs from Canada which are made by the same US companies and sold at deep discount prices in Canada. I guess NAFTA only applies if they want it to!
