Why should prescription drugs cost up to four times more in the U.S. than overseas?" says [Republican] Congressman Pete Hoekstra. ...
Hoekstra says the U.S. House is considering a bill that would allow pharmacies to import FDA approved prescription drugs at prices that are currently only available to individuals. ...
Gosh. Good idea, but sort of ... small.
Ever think the reason we pay four times more is that those other countries we're importing from have some form of universal health coverage (like Canada's single payer), and as a result the buyer has some clout with Big Pharma? And pays fair prices as a result?
Why put a bandaid on the cancer? Why not just introduce universal health coverage in the United States? The Democrats want to.
