- lazysheepherd 7y agoOh do we? No one asks US to be drug martyr of the World. Economy is a living thing, just stop paying double or triple for drugs, and market will level itself across all customers in no time. IF, you can stop that is: because IMO whole thing rather smells corruption, not martyrdom.
- kmlx 7y agoit's not about asking the US to be the martyrs. it's about the state of the matter. right now, by asking US citizens to pay exorbitant prices, and thus boosting innovation and bringing new products to market, you are actually helping places like the EU get better and cheaper medication. of course you can change that.
