Dean,
Just for your information, many (most) of the drugs that U.S. citizens come north to buy at half price or less are manufactured in the U.S. and shipped here for sale. The drug companies are looking very hard for ways to curtail such shipments.
We have price "controls" and in return I believe that the drug companies get extensions on their patent protection here. Our controls have most to do with reasonableness of the profit to the drug companies.
cheers
