Winning: Trump To Allow Americans To Access Lower-Cost Drugs From Canada

Cool if he does. Still waiting for a meaningful infrastructure week.
 
My only problem with the drugs from other countries is the impact it will have on drug companies. US drug companies to R & D costing millions of dollars and man hours to find a pill, that passed the FDA, that will fix someone's problems. Once it is made, then someone from Canada or other Socialist country buys some of the pills, and reverse engineers the drug to make their own. No R & D no failures from FDA and they dont carry the costs so can provide a cheaper pill. When no one wants to buy the US pill then the companies go bankrupt and then there are no more drugs. There is also one other thing, pills from Canada may look like the US pill but since it is generic, you dont get the same backing as you do with the US pill.
 
I thought Canada's low cost drugs were because of socialism. So it appears that the OP is claiming that the solution to high costs in capitalism is to go find socialism.

Yet another example of how Donald has turned his cult inside out.
 
Two points.........we have to remember, this is Trump.

First.

States, drug wholesalers and pharmacists would act as intermediaries for consumers.

Why? Why can't I get my doctor to write me a prescription and then simply order it on the internet?

Second.

Azar added, "Today's announcement outlines the pathways the Administration intends to explore to allow safe importation of certain prescription drugs to lower prices and reduce out of pocket costs for American patients.

It says this is something the administration "intends to explore", not that they were doing it. Trump says many things he never follows through on. Still waiting for him to pull the troops from Iraq.
 
Not likely to happen. Doubt Canada will play along and risk having drug shortages as a result.
 
So much for Trump's buy American campaign! :21::21::21::21:
Aren't those drugs developed here.,made here and basically being sold there for less because they aren't taxed as much as they are when sold in the US?

It should cause some concern when you're wanting cheaper drugs but the only way to get them cheaper is after they ship them to a foreign country first.

You lefties are so retarded it's not even funny. This is a brilliant way to get Big Pharma to lower their costs. The drugs are made here, dummies.
