Default Coming straight from a Canadian

Just happened to talk to another Canadian and they said the same thing.
Such a shame that Drug companies can still make a profit sending Canadians the medication, why not take care of Americans first....How can Americans fight the GIANTS!....I for one, will send another letter to Merck and I'm sure it will find the circular file as all the ones b4 and one to Congress also!...There must be a way!
