Re: "Huh? Your straw man holds no water."

WHAT 'straw man'????????????? (Can you say what you think is a 'straw man'?)

Re: "No I said that if there was free trade in pharmaceuticals there would be no reimportation. Prices in other countries would not be artificially reduced and only differences in manufacturing costs would significantly change prices. The pharmaceuticals companies themselves would exploit those differences."

Eh???????????

Not at all clear, don't understand what you are saying.

Can you CLARIFY? Are you saying that if Free Trade was permitted in pharmaceutical products that a) more cross-border trade (including imports into the high value US market) in those products would happen or, b) it would NOT?
