(STOP- don't read the other part of that paper, the part about how little they really spend, it DOESN'T CONCERN THIS ARGUMENT! We are taking THEIR argument at face value.)

They insist, as a matter of fairness to them, and to Americans who are paying more, that the other nations must drop their radical experiments in humanity, but I don't think that would be possible because the national healthcare plans are very popular with their respective populations. Well, then what can we do to stop the cost shifting on drugs?

Obviously, the only option we increasingly can do is become more like them, and adopt the same cost controls. (single payer, not public option) Otherwise, how will we afford to buy drugs when we subsidize research for the whole world, ACCORDING TO THEM. If so, our adopting strict cost controls is not our choice, they are FORCING us to do this.

meet a meme: SINGLE PAYER-

The DEVIL Made us do it!

So, all you politicians, you now have an GOOD excuse to support single payer, THE DEVIL MADE US DO IT.

We don't HAVE that "choice".

We don't have any other "options".

We are the odd one out, and American taxpayers are being exploited by the evil drug-discount forcers.

The sneaky foreigners who drive a hard socialistic bargain!



Grrrrrrrrr....

The DEVIL of cost control in OTHER countries is FORCING US to adopt it too.

Just look at the graph, isn't it obvious!

Hallalujah, we will be free at last!
