Most of the Canadian Drugs are imported from the U.S.. Canada bargains for low prices from the pharma here. "Our" congress will not allow Americans to bargain and get the best prices so Americans can afford their meds.

It is one of the big reasons why America's health care is ranked so low internationally.
"Our" government purposefully allows big pharma to gouge Americans. I wonder why
