Re: aided by anti-free trade regulations imposed by congress and enforced by the FDA. >>> I agree totally. Re: The pharmas argue that their IP rights will be violated if they don't enter into severe discount agreements with the foreign nations. >>> That is true... on the other hand, no other country in the world has extended such overly generous patent rights as we have --- nor repeated 'patent extensions' for such ridiculous stuff as changing the color of the bottle the pills come in from green to brown.... >>> At some point, 'IP protection' becomes anti-free trade, and anti the public's best interests. The trick is in striking the proper balance. (Else, why not just grant 'perpetual patents' for anything --- and eliminate competition for all time?)
