The bill allows U.S.-licensed pharmacies and drug wholesalers to import FDA-approved medications from Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan and pass along the savings to American customers.

Great news, since Rx brand drugs cost so little in other countries.

So many Pharmacies have one month for $5 and three months for $10 now on a broad spectrum of medications. I believe the entire reason for the Prescription Benefit for Seniors was brought about to counter exactly this.

Many on the right voted for this and Bush signed it, partly because of the cry and hue over this particular issue. This will strangle research and prevent life-saving medications from ever being developed. Thanks to the anemic campaign put on by McCain, we have enough to worry about without him piling on more. You all know the old saying, “You can lead an old turd to water but you can’t make him smart.”

This will hurt US drug companies and the development of new drugs.

Good move! This has been one of McCain’s favorite issues for some time, but the Bush GOP kept voting it down. Today’s Congress may be just as bought off, but at least it’s by a different set of interests.

I agree with this.

Shutting down medical research in the world.
