#6 - the lobbyists in the US directly benefit Canadians as well.
#7 - your drugs are cheaper because the cost to develop them is padded into the US drug prices. By Canadian law, drug prices are limited to the cost of manufacturing, plus a small, regulated profit margin.
You really don't get this....

As i said before, you are not the centre of the world. Drugs don't just get researched and manufactured only in the US. Medical advancements don't just happen in the US. Again get over yourself.
Leave us alone with our crappy universal healthcare will you. Enjoy your excellent healthcare system.
I don't get this perhaps because I'm not as smart as you....
