Yes, which was why I posted - "But even the research performed by and paid for by foreign companies, and done in other countries is paid for largely in the hopes of making a profit off American consumers." <g>

re:" much of the medical research is aimed at discovering drugs whose profits will be largely earned in the American market."

Why, doesn't the rest of world get sick? Or are drug companies selling wholesale at lower prices elsewhere than they are in the US? That doesn't make sense, so if we are paying more (as we are), it would suggest the drug resellers have higher markups in the US than in the rest of the world.
