I take Remicade for my RA every six weeks @ $11,000 a pop - that's
$99,000 per year for very effective treatment for RA.

In Canada, it's $2,450 a pop.

Now, who is subsidizing who? :)

Canada doesn't simply tell drug companies what to charge. They made a
deal with the drug companies, offering the drug companies extended
patent life on their new drugs in exchange for charging lower prices.
The drug companies benefit by having more years without generic
competition, and the public benefits by having more affordable
medicines.
