“I want to say the great advantage of reimportation is not only does it save money now, it does it without a new government program, and it is a market-driven change. The gentleman often quotes Ronald Reagan, who said that markets are powerful things, more powerful than armies. Here we already have groups like Canada Meds. I am not familiar with it, but I understand it is on the Internet. Canada Meds can save American seniors right now on their prescriptions, of all of the drugs that the gentleman mentioned, 30, 40, 50 percent routinely. It is not just for people who are 65 years old. If you are a mother with three kids and they have earaches, as small children frequently do, you can save that money today. This is going to happen with or without the United States Congress. Mr. Speaker, I agree with the gentleman. Shame on the FDA, and shame on the United States Congress for not passing a law to let the neighborhood pharmacist take advantage of these low Canadian prices.”
