Bordering on Defection on Reimporting Drugs

Five Republican Congressmen and Senators have broken with President Bush to support plans to legalize importing prescription drugs from Canada. Bills in both the House and Senate would allow Americans to buy the cheaper drugs.

America has the highest prescription drug prices of any country in the world. Drug companies make pills here in the US and ship them to Canada. It is as much as 62% cheaper to have those drugs shipped back to the US than to pay the price at the corner drug store here in the states. (CNEWS)
