Americans trek to Canada by the busload to save on prescription drugs
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
Americans can save a bundle on prescription drugs by heading to Canada -- and they're doing it in droves!
- Americans make long trek to Canada for affordable prescription drugs.
It's not your
idea of a typical drug run: two dozen pensioners on a coach headed for
Canada in search of cholesterol-lowering drugs and blood pressure
medication.
- But lured by the prospect of big savings on their prescription drug
bills, and subsidised by a US senator, 26 pensioners have turned out
this day for the two-day, 1,100-mile (1,750 kilometer) roundtrip to the
Canadian city of Winnipeg.
- It's Shostak's first such trip, but others aboard the bus are repeat
visitors, taking advantage of drug prices that are 40 percent cheaper on
average than those in the United States, thanks to price breaks
negotiated by the Canadian government.
