The US needs to have cost controls put in place also. Pharmaceutical manufacturers need a fair ROI also. Problem is this is not possible in an unregulated market.

It's totally fucked up ...
If it wasn't profitable for them to sell their pharma products in Canada & Mexico they wouldn't sell there. They aren't selling in those markets and losing money.. They are just filled with greed and want more money rather than helping people as a company in the healthcare business should be doing..
