Re: Virtual vs. Physical
said by rradina  :Why don't we figure out why folks want to buy from "illegal" pharmacies and determine if there is a way to eliminate this desire rather than trying to block it? Because the "illegal pharmacy" thing is a complete myth. Big Pharma has a pecuniary interest in forcing Americans to buy significantly overpriced pharmaceuticals instead of allowing a choice to buy it from north of the border where the Canadian government collectively bargains for cheaper drug prices.
Americans pay the highest prescription drug prices on the planet not because the quality is so good, but because we are forced by Big Pharma to subsidize all the countries that collectively bargain for lower prices. This trickling down of the responsibility onto the heads of the ISPs to police online pharmacies is nothing more than an attempt initiated by bought and paid for politicians to throw up a smokescreen to disguise the intended purpose: to do the bidding for their Big Pharma masters.

Besides, terrorists are who really benefit from illegal pharmacies.

I hear Canada will be the next country that will be invaded for selling Americans prescription pharmaceuticals on the web. We have to be "protected" from cheaper drugs, dont'cha know.

At least when that happens, won't to make too deep of an incursion. For some odd reason, most of them `nuck-critters are all bunched up at the border with the US.

said by major marco :because we are forced by Big Pharma to subsidize all the countries that collectively bargain for lower prices. i disagree. these companies make extreme profits even with the agreements and lower prices other countries pay. Pharmacy companies can and do charge U.S. citizens a lot for drugs because they can (standard of living here, broken healthcare system, drug patents) even though they whine that "R&D costs" are so much blah blah blah. that is definitely part of the cost, but the rest is huge ad campaigns, etc.
remember that the pharmacy industry has the most consistently lucrative profits in this country. they aren't hurtin' one bit. keep those ePharmacies open! |

it's because they're planning to invade. It will be a migratory invasion where they resettle in the Appalachian's, mostly in West Virgina. |

Its an open market for big pharma in the U.S.... they can charge as much as they want and have competition as well (limited). The VA hospitals collectively bargain and have much lower rates than any hospital/insurance plan would get. Why ? Because there's too much money to be made between the pharma, hospitals, doctors, lawyers, sales, and insurance companies which make billions on this stuff.
