On the recordFebruary 15, 2000
I have a letter here from two constituents of mine, Don and Gert Schwartz from Long Island City. He talks about the fact that he had to purchase for his wife Prilosec, a hundred tablets, $394 dollars for just one prescription of Prilosec. When you compare the prices between what people in New York and Queens and the Bronx are paying for prescription drugs and what they are paying just over the border in Canada, it is amazing. For the same drug in Canada, $184; $394 in New York. It is ridiculous. It is simply ridiculous.
