This is false, CanaRX has been doing this in Maine for years while many pharmacists have been against it because of the irregularity of consistent medicine.
Remember 15 years ago when the libs all hated the pharmaceutical companies and considered them evil.... now they all worship them. so weird!
Taking advantage of Canadas government subsidies for medicine! Sounds like a win until the democRATS pass a law against it!
I think this is a stupid idea.
As long as they don’t come wrapped in Mexican news papers.
This cannot work on a large scale. Here’s why. Canada and most other national markets have socialist price controls on their drugs. The US cooperates with this socialized medicine scheme by using the drug certification process. For a pharma company to get US certification it has to agree to produce allotments of their drugs and sell them at reduced prices to foreign countries. So a pill that costs ten dollars to the consumer in the US might cost one dollar in, say, Canada. What happens is the Canadian pharmacy can sell that drug they got for, say fifty cents, in the US market for, say seven dollars. Big win, right? This means the Canadian pharmacies don’t sell their drugs in Canada. Several years ago, there was a study published on the numbers of Canadians coming across the border into the US for emergency treatment because they could not get what are common drugs in the US.
I’m reminded of the book “Buy Real-estate With No Money Down.” I had an uncle who did this a lot. But once everyone was doing it, nobody could do it. Same thing with drugs. It worked only so long as everyone wasn’t doing it. There has to be a blowback. Either the US will stop allowing the drugs in the country or other countries will criminalize selling the out of market.
Do you know why Canadian drugs are cheaper...?
