Prohibiting reimportation reduces prices for both Americans and Canadians, even if Americans pay more than Canadians. Happy to show you the math, though it doesn’t fit in a tweet. It’s the same economics behind charging different prices on an airplane for the same seat.
Big Pharma would lose a lot of profits, that's why. There is absolutely no justification for the re-importation ban on prescription medication, and it's one of few issues in America that is an outrage.https://twitter.com/BroBuffBeard/status/1107769073381732352 …

What is best white paper on this to read?
-
The late Jack Calfee has a good summary. http://www.aei.org/publication/the-grim-economics-of-pharmaceutical-importation/ … Roger Bate with a bit more theoretical math. http://www.aei.org/publication/drug-pricing-and-its-discontents/ …

(But I haven’t read every white paper on the subject, so I can’t vouch for them as “best.” Just remember them from my AEI days.)

They might have to take their cuts? But it doesn't necessarily mean they are not going to profit from other HEALTHIER ideas. Unfortunately there are issues with Opioids and addiction....

What’s your view of the argument that Americans are forced to subsidies the billions required to develop new drugs because the rest of the world uses price controls?

Exactly. When Trump initially ran, that's one of the things he brought up. He wanted us to be able to purchase drugs from Canada because of the huge price differences. The Dems, incidentally and many Repubs, voted it down. Follow the $$$.pic.twitter.com/LHDYJ9zZLH
