un-American?

[Big Daddy]

I just got this e-mail. Found it interesting and thought I'd pass it along.

Lousy, buy true.............




A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.


A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.


We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico. We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh.


We can purchase almost anything we want from many different countries. BUT, Heaven help the elderly who dare buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian (or Mexico) pharmacy. That's called un-American!


And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again!

dude you have no idea what is put into many of those meds from mexico...

very uninformed post...

 

[Big Daddy]

You are correct, Dr. Freeze, I don't know much about it. Like I said, I was only passing along an e-mail that I got that I found interesting. You mention the meds from Mexico are not good. How do the Canadian ones compare? Just curious.

All those folks in Canada are still alive the drugs must not be to bad up there. And most of the drugs sold around the world come form about 10 majior companies. I just cant believe they but chit in there drugs that go to Mexico, Canada , Japan or any other country. Sounds like typical right wing scare BS to me.
And lets not forget most those companies are off shore already.
I wonder how many here know there drugs are made in places such as. India, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and yes even Mexico. Some companies are very smart. They mfg them off shore then send them here for packing. Then they say USA on them. Whos American and whos not?

uhh....its not too hard for pharmacies to test what is in these drugs coming across the borders from Mexico....

a local station did a story on it not too recently and over a third fo them were basically intoxicating people with heavy metals....great right wing scare tactic huh

Well that story must have only run along the border. And there is big differance with blackmarket drugs an legal ones. And even Doctor shoping like Rush did. You know as a Doc most all drugs are made off shore. You telling us we better not take any of them.
For some strang reason those in England and Canada pay half what we do here. Thats un American the way were getting screwed.
