I don't know the answer in fact, however, I would bet it has to do with the rate of pillage, rape and plunder of a patient is allowed.
We know that here in the USA pharmaceuticals companies welfare come way way WAY before the patient.
Good example: $700 per month cancer med comes through Canad for $119 shipped to the door for a generic. The generic and the name brand are both made here in the USA....the US patents allow the maker to keep generics off the market for a too long period of time. And I for one do not accept the notion they are recovering their investment....not when the companies continue to apply for extensions and get them. And the companies earnings are continuing to SPIRAL upward.
The USA has a funny way of threating their people that is just not done in other countries. Yup it sure does have to do with politics/special interest and getting re-elected.
