For me, it's not a matter of trusting the FDA vs Canada.
These countries with socialist medicine are artificially depressing the drug prices and forcing the drug companies to make up the difference on the backs of the American consumer. And these governments are holding the threat of simply ignoring the patents and letting a local company make these drugs. The drug companiess have no real power to stop them. They've got the choice of making a few pennies on the dollar or nothing at all.
I'm not saying that the drug companies are lily white pure. But when comparing them to socialist policies, I'll take the capitalists every time.
If these god-damned socialist countries were not artificially holding down drug prices, the prices would reach their appropriate level.
However, the current situation basically ends up with the American consumer having to fund the cost of all of the drug research and the god-damned socialist countries are essentially stealing the result.
