U.S. Senate Passes drug re-import
law
Bill would legalize bulk buying from Canada
By:
CHRISTINA ARANDJELOVIC
"For the thousands of Americans who currently obtain
their prescription drugs from Canada via mail order or cross - border shopping trips, relief could be on the
way in the form of new legislation passed recently by U.S.Senate. The sweeping proposal which has yet to receive
approval from the House of Representatives and the president - would allow
American pharmacists and drug wholesalers to re - import prescription drugs from
Canada. The move is meant to provide Americans, especially low-in-come seniors, with
access to cheaper prescription drugs. A similar bill, which received approval from both
the Senate and House last year, made it legal for Americans to order drugs
by mail from other countries despite the fact that
many U.S. residents had already been doing this for years. As a result,
Internet pharmacies here in Canada have done
steller business. As well, a number of "middle - man" operations have sprung
up on both sides of
the border - where Americans send their prescriptions to a company which will, in
turn, order from certain mail order or Internet pharmacies in Canada. In the summer of 2001, as the mail order bill
became law, the first version of the re-importation bill was turned down because
of the safetly
concerns. The Democrats have been vehemently pushing the bill, saying its
intention is to put pressure on pharmaceutical manufacturers to lower their
prices."
