Not sure how that's going to work - the reason the pharmaceutical companies can charge less in Canada is because they stick American consumers with the high cost of recouping their investments into developing the medications in the first place.

-------------------

Exactly, after recouping development cost and/or going generic the drug companies sell to the price-controlled/socialist Canadian market. Will lead to fewer new drugs being developed and some shortages. Dumb idea.

No it’s not. Amazing free marketers lose all interest in the free market with Heathcare. The free market only works with many buyers and many sellers. Most drugs today are designed to TREAT issues not cure them because of our patent laws. And it still makes no sense to not allow importation of one industry (drugs) when we do for EVERYTHING else
