I know a lot of people go over the border to Canada for some prescription medicine because it is so much cheaper in Canada. It helps a lot that they are able to control the drug companies greed and keep it in check. USA isnt able to do that and it cant keep the greed of the health insurance companies in check, either.

The FDA approval process is slow. Canada gets new drugs at least a decade before USA approves

Yeah. Its weird, the US should be able to get drugs for the same price. Its just the insurance companies bloating everything. I feel bad for people getting insulin.

It depends on the drug, if it’s generic vs brand etc
