Yes, you heard it right. The drug companies are selling brand names to Americans and generics of the same drugs to the rest of the world!

I have had in my possession, evidence of this, for over a year now, but can't get anyone to listen or report on it. The big TV show commentators like O'Reilly, Brian Wilson ( who just had a piece on prescription drugs today ) and Glenn Beck, probably get tens of thousands of emails a day, so mine gets lost in the shuffle.

But it's true. I have proof! I have allergies and mild asthma and for years I've been using Zyrtec for them. But gradually, the insurance companies have gone to formularies, so they only cover cheap drugs and we have to pay more and more for the brand names. So a few years ago, I had to start getting my Zyrtec from Canada. Only it's not Zyrtec there, it's generic cetrirzine hydrochloride and it costs less. Ok, some people say it costs less from Canada because their socialist medicine system forces drugs to be sold for less up there. But one day, this Canadian pharmacy I was dealing with, told me that I could get it for even less money, from an "FDA approved drug company in India". Ok, I was game, I need to save money, so I ordered some.

What arrived was a package of cetirizine hydrochloride from a plant in India but it was a plant owned and run by GSK - Glaxo Smith Kline, the same drug company that only sells the same drug as Zyrtec here in the United States, because they think Americans are rich and can pay much more for it, in fact double, triple or four times more in some cases! And retired and disabled people in this country are being forced to pay outrageous prices for these drugs, when the rest of the world gets generics for 30-50% of those prices, for one simple reason.
