Drugs - cheaper in Canada

[Guest guest]

Drug smuggling - across the Canadian border?We Americans believe in the free market, don't we?Of course we do. Why? Because competition for your dollar in a "laissez-faire" economic model is what keeps prices down, spurs the development of cutting-edge new technologies, and expands the worldwide universe of commerce...Unless the government gets involved. Then we get price controls, needless regulation, over-taxation, and a narrowing of consumer options. People, even the American people who are supposedly believers in free enterprise, really understand that regulation means higher prices, not lower.Case in point: Prescription drugs. Instead of opening the U.S. market to global competition (like in the automobile, electronics, and textiles sectors), those Big Brother bandits on The Hill are making it more and more difficult for you to reap the benefits of a competition-driven pharmaceutical industry...And they're doing it under the guise of protecting your health!Now, I want to set aside for a moment the fact that most patent medicines can put you in an early grave - as can much of mainstream medicine, for that matter. If you've been reading anything I've written for the past decade or so, you already know this. No, what I want to bring to light is how the FDA and other regulatory factions are now aiming to criminalize Americans for capitalizing on the very essence of the free market! Specifically, by seeking lower prices on prescription medications in neighboring Canada. I can see it now: If these new rules pass, how long will it be before someone, somewhere gets arrested for smuggling LEGAL drugs across an OPEN BORDER! Here's the rub (or rob, more accurately): According to the FDA, drugs bought from other countries - even though they were originally made, sealed, and sold abroad wholesale by U.S. companies - pose a serious threat to your health. Why? Because they've been across the Canadian border and cannot be guaranteed safe. Yep. That's their reason for forcing you to buy the IDENTICAL drugs at your local pharmacy - at two or three times the price, in some instances. This governmental tyranny of the marketplace couldn't possibly be because of pressure from the drug giants to control prices (translation: ensure profits). NOOooo! That would be unethical... And what a laugh, anyway! The FDA can't guarantee the safety of prescription drugs in the first place! Look how many people die in the U.S. every year because of them. Legalistic tricks keep drug prices high - and make it clear whose interests the FDA really looks out for.
