Why should I pay for someone else to have for free what I already got through negociation?
For losers like you they are. Just like medical. SOme of us pay dearly for services we don't need or want while you losers get it for free. Then I have to pay out of pocket with Blue cross picking upsome of the tab for services I need.
In 1923 the patent for insulin was sold for $1. Now, if the patent for insulin was sold for a dollar, why is the cost going up? The simple answer is that this isn't your great grandmother's insulin. For decades, the insulin doctors prescribed was derived from animals and injected with a very basic needle and syringe.
Today, insulin is manufactured using bacteria in which a copy of the gene for human insulin has been inserted. Insulin itself has been modified chemically to make versions that work faster or last longer. The delivery system has changed a lot. Instead of needles and syringes, there are insulin pumps, pens and other methods. And, there are all kinds of machines that measure blood glucose.
One can argue about the ethics, but each of these inventions comes with a new patent, and a new opportunity to jack up the price. So technically, it's not really produced for "nothing" as you put it.
Trump must want to buy Canadian drugs. What are these people smoking? Trump recently went on a 4-day trip to Japan and he personally handed the trophy to the sumo wrestler. They are really enjoying the parties. I think there is some kind of narcotics plot going on here. Weed is legalised in Canada. Now probably USA wants more legalisation, too.

If Trump doesn't stuff coke up his nose, I'll eat my toque. He acts like a Coke head. Remember Rob Ford? Same type of blustering bully and he was a Coke head, too.

Maybe. At the very least, he's a womanizer by his own admission and probably has syphilis.
If true, it is an excellent move.Trump wants to buy Canadian drugs
The American president has gone against the advice of senior officials in his own party and endorsed a controversial Florida proposal to import drugs from Canada.
“And now [drug prices are] going to be going down a long way further, including the fact that we may allow states to buy drugs in other countries if we can buy them for a lesser price — substantially less price,” Trump said last week at a White House event. “So we will allow them, with certain permissions, to go to other countries if they can buy them for 40, 50, 60 percent less.”
While the move is sure to anger the Republican establishment, it could increase support for Trump among middle and lower class voters who currently pay massive sums for medication. According to a CTV article, Americans pay up to 190 percent more for prescription drugs than other Western countries.
While president Trump’s plan could have a populist draw, many critiques have warned that the plan will not work due to Canada’s size.
With a population of only 37 million, Canada does not have the market size to also sell drugs to the United States, especially when a large portion of Canada’s medicine is actively imported from Europe and the United States.
For the majority of drugs supplied by manufacturers outside of Canada, there would be no guarantee of an increased supply being shipped to Canada – knowing full well that it will be re-shipped to the U.S. to compete in a different market.
As broken down in Forbes, the likely reality would be empty shelves in Canadian pharmacies, and anger many Canadians.
What do you think about the plan to import Canadian pharmaceuticals? Let us know in the comments below.

However, since Trump seems to be on drugs already----?
I can't believe the crack users. There was even a cartoon called Prickleberry with Mayor Ford.
