Hello Ron,

Your article is getting more interesting by comments and questions of other people. Thanks for answering my questions.

I liked the Idea of Mr. Gregory Hummer about "Let Americans buy prescription drugs from anywhere in the world" and I am pretty sure Americans can save more than 80 %. I buy a strip of antibiotic tablets for $ 1 (after converting in Indian Rupees) in India compared to $90 I paid for the same medicine in US.
I know it is not a good Idea to compare any other country's health system with other countries because of so many different parameters and factors as Mr. Ron rightly explained but countries like India where most of the population don't have health insurance, the health cost is very less and affordable. Now things are changing as multinational companies started giving insurance to their employees, resulting in higher medical costs in PPOs.
Mr. Ron excellently expressed this situation in American Corporate culture in early nineties to attracting new employees. So by looking at developing world we can find some solutions as they are dealing with same situations now as developed world did in early nineties.
