8. BS... that is the BigPharma line... most of the drugs that come into the Middle-East (for example)

are manufactured and require EU, or more stringent regulations.

The drugs are the same and in some cases superior as the FDA can be full of it at times.

The costs in many countries are small percentages of what the price is in the US. US consumers are getting absolutely screwed by the pharmaceutical companies... not to mention the stranglehold that medicine has over the pharmaceutical industry.

Here, if I have a simple problem... say asthma, or allergies from the dust storm. I just stop by the pharmacy and purchase what I need no prescription necessary for most items.

One aspect I will hate when I return to America is having to deal with the medical system.
