And what are the other options that you may have as a patient?

This is all, by the way, stuff that we've been talking about.

Let's just put it into a law that everyone can, for the foreseeable future, point to and say, because of that, you've got to be fair with the American people.

It's exactly the message we're delivering.

No more global freeloading.

And I'll tell you a specific example where we've already done this.

The UK, who may have been the worst offender.

And just to underline what you're saying, when you get a cutting edge new drug that saves your life, for example, with a bad cancer in this country, the Europeans don't get it for several years.

So there's actually a significant delay because they're not willing to pay.

So we're being very transparent with European leaders and people in those countries that what you think is the best possible medicine really isn't because you're not willing to pay towards the kitty to save lives.

Listen, how does NATO work?

NATO works because everyone empties up money so you can defend the continent of Europe.

America pays too, by the way.

But we are asking other countries to chip in.

Same thing as you have external threats from NATO.

We have internal threats from diseases that plague all humanity.

So why is it that America is footing the bill to develop the drugs?

We pay most of the R&D expense.

But then in addition, we're paying three times more, as you point out, for those same products.

So we're saying to the UK, for example, we just did this deal.
