I think you missed my point. Is going out of business and not being in position to provide drugs at all simply because you don't want drug price disparity between USA and countries that arm-twisted you into paying a lot less then what they should because they know you are going to make up the difference in the US market morally superior to what we have now?

Comparing the prices in the US with those outside is wrong way to look at this, but it feeds the populist narrative. That discrepancy has nothing to do with Pharma but everything to do with the fact that in other countries the only payer is government and to be on the government formulary, Pharma companies have no choice but to accept those prices. If US did the same thing, many drugs would not be economically viable. In the most fundamental sense, for example Canadians aren't paying their fair share, and Americans are picking up the slack. I work in the industry and I am not blind to the issues the industry has but it always baffles me how simplistic the conversation becomes when the subject comes up.

As someone who manages a team and hires good number of candidates, I can confirm that I do care a lot where a candidate learned what they claim on their transcripts. Its not the only thing I care about but certainly MIT and The University of Phoenix resumes do not go into the same pile. Don't fool yourself.
