So you think in no other countries they can be sued, or have to get their drugs approved? You think it's much easier to get drugs approved in say the UK, France, Germany or Canada? Meanwhile the price for the same drug in those countries is less than one third the price it costs here in the US.

Also did you know insurance companies buy these same drugs much fucking cheaper, likely closer to the prices that the rest of the world pays.. Yet the over the counter buyer in the US gets ass raped and that's ok?

This shit has very little to do with lawsuits that's just Republican BS spin.. It has to do with them having no price regulations and gouging the American public.
