Edwards
Quote
And we're also going to finally do something about the cost of prescription drugs.

They've blocked allowing prescription drugs into this country from Canada. We're going to allow it.


That sounds like outsourcing an entire multi-billion industry to me!

Out-sourcing is a facet of capitalism, and a consequence of basics economics.

You're not one of these anti-capitalist Seattle anarchists we here so much about are you?

With our free trade agreement with the US, our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS - where the government negotiates deals with australian drug companies so certain drugs are available at a greatly reduced price) had to have legislation to stop american drug companies who want to eliminate the PBS and it's price controls.
