JOE BIDEN, Make it legal for AMERICANS TO..

Purchase drugs from foreign countries once again. And drug prices will drop exponentially overnight

🤷🏾‍♀️

Just about every single westernized country sells Americans drugs and makes a ton of profit off of us it's a supplement their country's universal health care.

It was a rip off that George W. Bush Created. 🖕🏾
And even democratic senators keep voting against. Senator Booker being the 1st one to come to mind🙄

That's when I started searching the net for a better price. I found a pharmacy in Australia that charged $55.00 including shipping. I just had to include enough shipping time so he'd get them before he ran out. After finding that I checked all our prescriptions to see if they'd be cheaper that our co-pay. I found one of mine that was $35.00 co-pay & available from Canada for $6.00 including shipping. I even told my Doc about it & he said heck yes, buy them there.

Is it legal to order prescriptions from other countries?

It's not legal, under most circumstances, to order and import medicine from a pharmacy in another country, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).Aug 29, 2018
