    Seen this article on my apple newsfeed this morning. Seems like a crazy idea. Even if something like that came to exist, the population of California itself is larger then up here in Canada.

    Couple days ago the headline was Bernie Sanders coming up here with a insulin Caravan.

    Taking a quick look at Pfizer quote, the market doesn’t expect any pricing changes in the near future.

    Should not one have to have Canadian insurance to buy drugs in Canada? Aren't the drugs in Canada subsidized by the govt?

    Patented drug prices are regulated but not subsizided(perhaps for some rare expensive prescriptions).

    Healthcare is free but prescriptions are not.
