Thanks for this. I was wondering, is there anywhere that I can confirm this? Have studies been done? This thing about cheap drugs in Canada always comes up and I am very curious about it.

I don't remember where I read it. Forbes maybe? Anyway, its just a sampling issue. That is, nobody goes to Canada looking for drugs that are more expensive then the ones here. They just go for drugs that are less expensive. Consequently, all you hear about are the less expensive ones.

The RX business in this country is highly regulated. That is not so in other countries. Drugs from other countries could be phony, altered or even laced with items like strychnine, botulin or anthrax by those wanting to harm us.

A good argument could be made that U.S. citizens should be able to avail themselves of the free market. That it should be their choice and they have to accept the consequences of that choice. But when you're talking about bad drugs that could potentially kill or make a person even sicker or tainted drugs that could cause an epidemic, then that concerns all of us.

It's a tough call.
