>>Lowering our standards to accommodate some third world cess pool does not make sense.<< I agree Aj.Countries should raise their standards to accommodate third world " cess pools ". >>You would be surprised at the number of Canadian doctors who travel to the Mayo Clinic when they get ill.<< You would be surprised at the number of senior citizens that make MONTHLY treks to Canada to obtain much needed medicine they can hardly afford.Funny isn't it?The rich go south for health reasons and the poor come North for the same. But Uncle Sam wants to change the Patent period under a WTO ruling that will have a dramatic affect on the price of prescription drugs to those elderly people.Capitalism eh? PS: Looks like Canada may have just found a cure for Diabetes.Cool huh?
