    Classic Americans look at their own shitty healthcare system and, instead of fixing it, try to make everyone else’s worse.

      Because of limits on prescription drug price negotiations in the U.S., politicians south of the border have argued their health-care systems should simply buy more drugs from Canada.

      A 2021 report by the Rand Corporation found that Canadian prices were just 46 per cent of those in the United States because Ottawa limits how much drugmakers can charge for medicines. The U.S. lets the free market dictate drug prices.

      Literally. We could simply set our own identical price controls.

      Only so our corporations can metastasize all over you and privatize your nation’s generated value for themselves so they can build support support mega yachts for their support mega yachts that support their mega-mega yachts.

      If it makes you feel better, it just makes the wealthy oppressors of most Americans more powerful. But agreed, my country is the baddie.
