On the recordJuly 10, 2003
We are only talking about FDA-approved drugs from FDA-approved facilities... We want to make certain that they are not treated like common criminals, because right now seniors are doing this. There was a study done by a University of Texas professor. A million Americans right now are crossing the border to buy their prescription drugs, and they have no assurance, no tamper-proof packaging, and worse than that, they are treated like common criminals by their own government. So we want to make it safer. We actually want to put in a regimen, a plan, so that people can do this and their pharmacists can do this, because my vision is people ought to be able to go to the local pharmacist, and he ought to be able to shop for the best price on the best drugs.
