Patients are seeing fewer choices, higher prices, and fewer cures, while the American pharmaceutical industry \u2014 which currently leads the world in the development of new medicines \u2014 is now in jeopardy of losing its competitive advantage on the rest of the world.\n\n\u201cMake no mistake, price fixing has failed in every sector and in every country where it has ever been tried.
