We import in the United States thousands and thousands of tons of fruits and vegetables and meats. As a matter of fact, this year we will import 318,000 tons of plantains. If we can safely import 318,000 tons of plantains, we can surely figure out a way to import Prilosec and Glucophage. There is no way people will argue we cannot do this safely. We have the technology today. The time has come to open up markets, let our people go and stop this captive market. We will see prices drop in the United States by at least 30 percent.
