Interesting paper. While importing drugs carries certain medical risks as mentioned in the paper, the bottom line is that the various Boards of Pharmacy want to keep the business and profits for themselves and their members.

The elderly on fixed incomes (and others on limited incomes) ought to have the right to choose their provider and accept the risk. I, for one, do not need my Uncle telling me what is and is not good for me.
