Summary
Maryland pharmacists have joined forces with the Bush administration to
block a state proposal that would allow employees to purchase
prescription drugs more affordably by importing them from Canada. The
FDA has jumped on board, too, using scare tactics to deceive people into
thinking that prescription drugs from Canada are somehow more dangerous
than prescription drugs from the United States. It's all part of the
medical racket that keeps prices high for U.S. consumers. It's Big
Medicine in action, making sure that they maintain monopoly control over
all U.S. pharmaceutical purchases so that they can price gouge consumers
with 10,000% markups (not a typo). U.S. consumers pay the highest prices
for prescription drugs on the planet, and the FDA, pharmacists and drug
company executives want to make sure it stays that way. To accomplish
this, they have to wage a campaign of deceit, making sure they block all
drug imports from Canada. It is nothing less than a federally-approved
conspiracy against the American people. The whole thing is nothing
but a sham. As the Governor of Minnesota recently asked, if prescription
drugs from Canada are so darn dangerous, where are all the dead
Canadians?

Details
- The Bush administration and Maryland pharmacists are staging a public
relations campaign aimed at scuttling a state Senate proposal that would
help state employees, retirees and Medicaid recipients buy lower-price
prescription drugs from Canadian mail-order pharmacies.
- The bill, which has 21 co-sponsors, two short of a majority in the
47-member Senate, is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate
Finance Committee this afternoon.
- Maryland is the newest front for an embattled FDA that is trying to
quell a sagebrush rebellion against prescription drug prices that are
typically 30 percent to 50 percent higher in the United States than in
Canada and other nations that control medicine prices.
- The Montgomery County Council is considering whether it should follow
Springfield, Mass., where the local government has set up a
reimportation program for its employees and retirees.
