"And why isn't there legislation to lower the price?"

The second the right heard the words "price regulation" they'd go (more) batshit. Randroids would start strapping on suicide vests.
We honestly don't need half the country shrieking about how wonderful the pharmaceutical industry is the way they did the insurance industry.

Edited to add: I'm not sure getting rid of the Medicare part D stuff would actually help drug prices for everyone, either. Last medication I took regularly didn't come through insurance of any sort and cost me roughly about 10 times what it would've cost me to order it from Canada.

They use the "safety" defense to prevent people ordering drugs from Canada. Seriously, they act like you guys have witches stirring up cauldrons of Viagra or Xanax up there or something. You know, those crazy Canadians with their lack of government regulations. ;)
