yes, please look up several explanations of pricing structure. it is not fix pricing. it is various agreements on prices based on numerous alternatives. i recommend we open up competitive pricing of drugs under some of structure international, perhaps through g8 discussions like they talk about environment controls. the purpose to put international on notice that the united states is no longer going to carry the major cost of developing drugs. Of course we could just do it through congress by law. However, since we do like to discuss actions that may impact the cost of health care in other countries it would be a good idea to have open discussion. "The Group of Eight (G8, and formerly the G6 or Group of Six and also the G7 or Group of Seven) is a forum, created by France in 1975, for governments of six countries in the world: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 1976, Canada joined the group (thus creating the G7). In becoming the G8, the group added Russia in 1997." let's close this posting back and forth.
