Is this really true? Is there any proof that companies don't or can't make a profit at European & Canadian prices. US prices are much higher because companies are allowed to charge more.

Research in pharma is expensive, you can easily spend billions and have nothing to show for it. Where else do you think all that money comes from?
Is anybody forcing them to sell in Europe? If it's not profitable I would assume they wouldn't sell there.
