p>All good and accurate points. However, the Canadian pharmacies
are not selling at a loss. U.S. manufacturers have chosen to sell
their products at the lower, government-mandated prices in Canada.
The world is full of examples where information and communication
technologies are reducing the ability of businesses to price
discriminate (see Airline Business, U.S.). In this case a
long-standing option available only to border residents (those able
to physically go to Canada) is now accessible nationwide.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers will increasingly need to “just say
no” to the free-riding of Canadian (and other) health systems on
their research investments, or become accustomed to pressure on
their margins.
