any canadians watch the news last night?

[fris]

canadians provide a large portion of americans with perscription drugs, and online pharmacies are draining supplies. health minister spoke at harvard and said if it comes down to it, he will be forced to shut down online pharmacy sites providing drugs to the us.

The interesting part of the spin (by Canadian medical authorities) put on the situation with our American friends coming up and getting essential heath products (they can't seem to get in their own country) and the perception of them displacing Canadians in lineups is that the products Americans are being sold are not from the same inventory as the products allocated to Canadian Medical Services.

They have always assured the public that Canadians having to wait longer than Americans had nothing to do with any shortage of supply, and if anything, the PR this issue has gotten has scared more people into getting vaccinated.

Apparently, in Canada we have already used up as much vaccine as we did in all of last year.

I was wondering when they were going to start reconciling the 'split inventory' story.

This kind of thing doesnt happen over night .
It takes months or even a year.
Thats why if this is going to happen, americans will buying a bulk supply before this legislation is created or sites start shutting down. There is still money to be made in pharmacy, it is just time limited. Fuck if I can make a lot of money in rx in the next few months why would you stop or worry now.

No, they are cheaper for two reasons.

1) Drugs that are still under patent are regulated by the federal Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB). This Board establishes the maximum prices that can be charged in Canada for patented drugs.

2) Health insurers negotiate prices based on evaluations of clinical effectiveness of prescription drugs. They negotiate with manufacturers in order to get the best price among therapeutically similar drugs.

Online pharmacies account for about 2% of drug sales in the US.
