Pfizer puts squeeze on price cutters/BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3132231.stm

(snip)
Canadian internet pharmacies can sell medicines at as little as 30% of the US price because Canada has price controls on drugs.

UK firm GlaxoSmithKline has already put a similar ban in place.

Anglo-Swedish drug maker AstraZenca said in April it would investigate any large orders from Canada. US firms Merck and Wyeth have also taken action.

1. Solution: Boycott Programs that use their advertising.
and let the drug companies know we wont put up with
their robber baron thug tactics.

Any candidate who accepts money or PAC money from them
will not receive democratic vote.

how about that?

2. Works for me--to my knowledge I use no Pfizer drugs.
The only one I'm decidedly stuck with is Lilly; I take insulin and they are the only ones who offer the kind I use in the US.

I am SOOOOOO disgusted--I had just gotten my mom signed up with a CAnadian company.
