My friend was just talking about this. He works in a research lab and he is like you should see what some of the equipment is sold for. Some of the stainless tools he gets are total crap, you can get nicer ones at West Marine for $20. But they pay $600 for them. Research rats are $1k each, etc. Anything medical related is priced ten times what it should cost.

They mark this crap up because they can. When you are sick are you going to shop around? Everyone involved is making a ton of money so no one wants the party to stop.

The more I see the more I like Canada's system.
