Not sure what point you're trying to make here. The pricing on the medication was exceedingly high, about $200/dose, but as far as I can tell, that is the same price as in the USA: http://breastcancer.answers.com/medications/the-cost-of-neupogen-treating-the-side-effects-of-chemo http://breastcancer.answers.com/medications/the-cost-of-neup... The cost of the drugs was just picked up by the medical system instead of my pocketbook. I have seen this argument before; American health care is expensive because everybody else is a slacker who can't pay. It's obviously false. US pharma companies aren't subsidizing Canadian drugs, the Canadian government is. That Canadian drug prices are lower is more a function of the broken US medical system than anything else.
