You guys have it all wrong. The rich Americans (us guys) provide inexpensive drugs for the poor throughout the world. World health reform administered through the drug companies. :love:

This.  We pay all of the world's R&D costs, Obamacare guaranteed that this will both continue and accelerate.

Yeah, you are paying for all of the R&D and hassle they had to go through to get it approved.  That's why they get patent protection for so long.  They have to recoup all of that expense.  It's very easy and cheap to copy a drug that is already researched and approved.  But, since your drug already has a generic, your doctor is a POS for tricking you into getting the name brand.  Luckily, the pharmacist will usually offer you the generic anyway.

Yeah, you need to give your doctor a giant KITN for not prescribing the generic.

You ask a question on a thread.  Get answers that are correct, but don't like, and repeat the question hoping for an incorrect answer that suits a political agenda.  Put your fingers in your ears and keep saying, "blah blah blah I can't hear you!"

it could also have to do with your health insurance plan.  The generic may cost a lot more if you paid completely out of pocket but since that particular generic is on the insurance plan's "list" and the brand name drug isn't, it costs much less.   :dunno:    As a side note, generics can be of considerable less quality and vary in exact dosage from batch to batch due to the more lax laws on monitoring the production process.  So, if it is something super important/expensive it is not always in your best interest to get the generic   :ohno:

Obama sold out to Big Pharma right out of the gate.   

AzCat has nailed it.   You and I subsidize the cheap drugs for sale in other countries.   

LOL at you Libratards . . . the moment some Senators started talking about opening up the borders per se, so Foreign Drug companies could compete easier in the U.S. market place.  Obama's FDA was sending off letters telling them how "Dangerous"that would be.

Try to get more exercise. My dr said if you can physically wear yourself out you won't have trouble sleeping as much. Helps with anxiety too

Translation:  start dating a girl that likes to f*ck (or in your case buy a bottle of Cetaphil and take your laptop to bed)

P.S.
Off-Brand NyQuil gives me horrible violent nightmares, use the real stuff. . . in case what your doctor "prescribed" doesn't do the trick

Yeah but 'chill pills' are schedule 4 drugs, dangerous and highly addictive and extremely illegal to have if you're not prescribed. I have some but try not to use them very often, and I don't
