The facts are that Canada's Single Payer plan has less overhead than Blue Cross/Blue Shield spends in just the state of Masachussets. It also does not have any seven figure executives and bargains prices with Big Pharma, example Florence's BP medication is $599 for a 90 day supply, in Canada it is under $250. Novartis must still be making a profit at those prices because they still supply the Canadian market. We so enjoy being screwed that we keep spreading the myth that America is paying for all the research. If you believe that line of malarkey we are having a special on the Bay Bridge next week. Does this answer your How come?
