Cory Booker Joins Republican Sen. Majority to Kill Cheaper Meds

[Disir]

Bernie Sanders introduced a very simple symbolic amendment Wednesday night, urging the federal government to allow Americans to purchase pharmaceutical drugs from Canada, where they are considerably cheaper. Such unrestricted drug importation is currently prohibited by law.

The policy has widespread support among Americans: one Kaiser poll taken in 2015 found that 72 percent of Americans are in favor of allowing for importation. President-elect Donald Trump also campaigned on a promise to allow for importation.

The Senate voted down the amendment 52-46, with two senators not voting. Unusually, the vote was not purely along party lines: 13 Republicans joined Sanders and a majority of Democrats in supporting the amendment, while 13 Democrats and a majority of Republicans opposed it.

One of those Democrats was New Jersey’s Cory Booker, who is considered a rising star in the party and a possible 2020 presidential contender.

In a statement to the media after the vote, Booker’s office said he supports the importation of prescription drugs but that “any plan to allow the importation of prescription medications should also include consumer protections that ensure foreign drugs meet American safety standards. I opposed an amendment put forward last night that didn’t meet this test.”

This argument is the same one offered by the pharmaceutical industry.

In Canada the governmental healthcare system is able to negotiate drug prices based on volume consumed by their population. What happens in america as a result is that the pharma industry is then allowed to jack up the prices americans pay to offset the corporate “losses” on Canadian sales. And yeah, it's all utterly bipartisan. Look, if you're an american "citizen" you need to understand, you are not a human being. You are a commodity to be monetized.

I got tired of this crap years ago, and have been buying RX through the internet and by mail from Canada when I am in the Medicare doughnut hole. They don't really enforce this law anymore.

Canadian pharmaceuticals, think about it. Why pay more to american corporations who jack up the prices on you to make up the difference that the Canadian national healthcare system negotiates them down to.
