The FDA. Don't forget the FDA. We pay for it. Many other countries have no certification agencies of their own and rely on FDA certification OR have miniscule agencies that read FDA releases between naps to find out which new drugs they have approved so they can rubberstamp them.

Maybe fresc would be happier using Chinese drug certification. Remember Ma Huang?

It's easy to sit up there in the snow and do nothing but throw rocks. It's a whole different matter being on the hot seat.

Dave (the LOBBYIST)Ray! WE pay full costs of any new drug coming out of America or where ever. The difference is Canada has a limited patient life on new drugs. After the patient expires, the generic Co. can make them (Much cheaper price). Even when we do have to pay the highway robbery price, OUR Government provides the subsidies NOT AMERICA!

It's your lawyers and Insurance Co. that are killing your health care.
