What a fucking rip off In Canada the cost for the exact same pill is $40 Canadian and in the UK a similar generic Anti biotic cost me £5.00 ( $7.30 ) After all dont Pharmaceutical companies post the largest profits of all USA companies ( apart from perhaps big oil) and thats after they take out the research monies they say is the reason for these high costs.

Here is a great example of the pharm companies raping US customers. I have ashtma. I take a daily medicine and use an inhaler when needed. The cheapest cash prices I can find are at Costco where the inhalers is $42 and the medicine is $315 for a 30 day supply. I can buy the exact same stuff online from an out of country pharmacy. The online price is $11 for the inhaler and $89 for the medicine. Exact same medicine, exact same amount, 66% less cost.
