I stocked up on the antiobiotic Cipro today. I got thirty-six 0.25 gram pills for 65 cents. According to one pharmaceutical website I just checked, in America you would pay US$86.40 for the exact same thing. It doesn't cost very much money at all to manufacture these pills. I am all for the creators of the medicine getting monetary credit for their research and discovery, but having made billions of dollars on Cipro in the past few years, I just have to wonder how rich they need to be??!!! The moral of this story is -- unless you are rich, don't get sick in America!
