There's so much silliness in your post it's difficult to know where to begin.

Let's start there and work our way backwards.
Canadians are going to have to pay more for pills. They'll start having to actually bear some of the freight cost on equilibrium prices.

Lol. Pick any product. You conveniently avoided my second question.
I do enjoy your Mutt and Jeff act in this thread.

I think you missed the analogy. What I took from the post was the same thing can be priced differently in two different markets based on factors other than the inherent qualities of the thing.
In his analogy, the "same house" had different market values based on its location. In pharmacy, the same item has different prices based on the US having to bear the burden of Pharma's margins.
You're hung up on the wrong part, which was you correctly identified location as the differentiating factor. You just didn't correctly identify the parallel logic.

And even if you duped pharma, how many more distributors would we need in Canada to supply the US? No one here will willingly pay the US prices now, so how would the Canadian market possibly have enough supply? And with all those extra distributors, they will need their profit to, plus demand will be crazy, so prices already begin increasing for the "canadian" product.

That's only part of the equation. There's a lot of pills that Canada pays $0 for because they don't cover them.

Certainly, just a market response that no one had identified yet in this thread in response to the importation of so-called foreign drugs.

And how do you guarantee drugs reimported from Canada are actually from Canada?

He thought he was explaining WHY drugs are much cheaper outside the U.S.
He failed.

You appear to have missed the point. If you got it, you have a funny way of showing it.

So your theory is that demand and willingness to pay has zero effect on US drug prices. Sounds legit.

So another layer of regulation and checking. That shouldn't effect cost.

Not talking exclusively about Russian, but one of the things I have noticed is that many people on this Board stuggle with analogies.
You'll make an analogy to demonstrate parallel reasoning and the response you always get back is those two things aren't EXACTLY ALIKE so the analogy is bullshite.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world an analogy is using two different things to show parallel reasoning.

We already have a system that very easily tracks origin on all kinds of products, including drugs. This is a non-issue.

Russian is just playing a role in the thread. He came into the thread asking questions but just was playing NcTigah's straight man. He wasn't going to take any answer that didn't fit what he already thought. It didn't have anything to do with anything other than that.
