“Let me clarify that. It is actually in Europe. Those are all European prices. Now the price in Canada, I believe, is about half what it is in the United States. The point is, it is even cheaper in Europe. Now, Synthroid is a drug that my wife takes because she has a goiter, an enlargement of her goiter, and many Americans have to take that drug. As long as she takes her drug, she has no medical complications because of that. So it is a wonderful drug, and we are certainly appreciative of that drug and that it is available. We can afford the $13.85 or whatever the price is here in the United States. That does not really break us, but it does begin to bother when it has to be taken all the time. Literally, she has to take that drug probably for the rest of her life. When one looks at the differences between what the Europeans pay for exactly the same drug, made in exactly the same plant, under exactly the same FDA approval, one begins to ask the question, why is it the world's best customers, the Americans, pay the world's highest prices?”
