I don’t know the legalities but I hope more states do it:
Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott Wednesday signed legislation making his state the first to legalize importing prescription drugs from Canada, an idea President Donald Trump’s top health officials oppose that’s also drawn fierce opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.
A spokeswoman for Scott said he signed the bill Wednesday morning. The measure had overwhelming support in the Democratic-controlled legislature and is one of the most aggressive attempts by a state to tackle rising drug prices that critics say are crippling state finances.
Its enactment also puts the Trump administration in a bind after the rollout of a highly anticipated plan for tackling rising drug costs. HHS still has to certify Vermont’s program.
“Trump is trumpeting his desire to do something about high-cost drugs,” said Democratic state Sen. Claire Ayer, one of the bill sponsors. “I’m hoping that they’ll see it as an opportunity for him to say that he’s done something about high drug prices.”
Bernie Sanders.
Having read the entirety of Trump’s plan which was released yesterday—–it was about 100 words and read like a wish list, not a plan—-nothing will happen to the price of drugs except that they will continue to rise.
Trump is a con man and the Republican Party is filled with liars and grifters.
Republicans are the enemy.
Bernie’s gonna have to dig a tunnel.
????
Drug smuggling tunnel like they use at the other border; the one with the wall.
Why does Spanky never talk about a wall on our northern border? He’s so concerned about migrant farm workers commuting up from the south that he forgets about all those Canadian truck drivers from all of the -stans: Paki-, Uzbeki-, Kryzgyki-, Afgani-,… Or what about all those Chinese nationals who fled Hong Kong and ended up in Vancouver, BC? Something must be done. If not a wall, can we get some NRA vigilantes to defend N. Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota?
