DrugBuyers.Com: CBS News Sunday Morning/Senior drug smugglers

CBS News Sunday morning had another wonderful report on the problems with HIGH US prices for US medications.

I'm sorry I looked on their site for more info but could not find a link, maybe someone a bit more computer literate could find it. Anyway..

The story talked about how for many years buses have traveled to Canada to buy perscription meds at half or one third the cost of US prices(due to Canadian price caps). They also discussed how some (no names mentioned) US pharmacutical companys were cutting off supply of products to boarder pharmacys that engage in supplying Americans cheeper drugs. SHAME SHAME SHAME

on you, you all so caring and empathetic pharm corps!!

The story also discussed the recent increase in places like RX-Depot and Canadian RX(a company in my state that had to recently shut it doors because of legal fees), They talked with the owner of Rx-Depot and questioned him about the FDAs accuzations that drugs from Canada can be dangerous. I love it he laughed, and said when have they ever been dangerous. Not to mention that the US exports a great deal of Canada's meds, hmmm maybe we really do want to get ride of those pesky Canadians.

The program also focused on some US/CAN boarder town, where the mayor was trying to import medications for city employes to lower fiscal cost, and save tax money. (Sorry I cant remember the city, but you go mayor!!!KUDOS!!)

All in all a wonderful story on "The War On Drugs"

Hope everyone got a chance to see it, and I hope we see more poitive perspectives on the fleecing of the poor, sick, elderly, middleclass, and handicaped.
