>> You think if they did not make money they would sell to Canada? "Make money" means different things to different people. I recommend you take a couple of courses in (a) Cost Accounting and (b) Managerial Accounting. What you'll see is that "Big US Pharma" would be motivated to sell Canadians drugs for ANYTHING over the variable production & distribution costs -- Americans are paying the R&D costs, so anything they can collect beyond the cost of stamping out capsules and distributing them is gravy. That, and that alone, explains why "Big US Pharma" can "make money" selling medications to Canadians on the cheap -- because WE have the burden of paying the R&D costs.
