pricing controls has nothing to do with establish a pricing structure I am missing the distinction you are making. "We should adopt some type of national pricing structure" Perhaps by "we" you didn't mean the government? But if not the government, then who? no one suggested stopping foreign sales... International should be put on notice, we are no longer paying for their discounted drugs. I'm not following you. It's true that disallowing discounts for foreigners is not exactly the same as stopping foreign sales but effectively is may be the same. If prices go up and they stop buying, then it hardly matters that we didn't technically "stop foreign sales." an international pricing structure , should be discussed and agreed upon Are you suggesting a treaty between the US and, say, the Euros? What would be negotiated? The price of each drug?
