Rethuglican Senator: Canada and France are parasites

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

During a hearing of the Special Committee on Aging, the Tennessee Republican [sen. Bob Corker] told Canada's former Public Health Minister, Dr. Carolyn Bennett, that her country is "living off of us" because they set lower prices for health care and "all the innovation, all the technology breakthroughs just about take place in our country and we have to pay for it."

"It is not really our country so much is the problem, it's sort of the parasitic relationship that Canada, and France, and other countries have towards us," Corker said. "…You benefit from us, and we pay for that. And I resent that, and I want to figure out a way to solve that."

The Canadian Press has more.

[Carolyn Bennett] seemed puzzled by Corker's remarks, reminding him that drug pricing was a global concern, not part of a plot by Canada.

"It's the drug companies, sir, and they're multinational - it's nothing about the United States of America," she told him.

...

Canada's history is, in fact, rich with medical breakthroughs, including the discovery of insulin, the first identification of stem cells and the invention of the first artificial kidney machine.
