Cheap Drugs From Canada? Another Fail by Drumpf!

Trump Approves Final Plan to Import Drugs From Canada ‘for a Fraction of the Price’

President Donald Trump, outlining his “America First Health Plan” on Thursday, announced that his administration will allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canada.

The final plan clears the way for Florida and other states to implement a program bringing medications across the border, despite the strong objections of drugmakers and the Canadian government.

The Canadian government told HHS last spring that the country doesn’t have enough drugs to spare and that the Trump plan would only worsen shortages of medicines there. It argues that Canada’s pharmaceutical market is too small to have any real impact on American prices. Canada represents 2% of the global pharmaceutical consumption, compared to the U.S.’s 44%.

“We remain focused on ensuring Canadians can access the medication they need,” Cole Davidson, a spokesman for Canada’s Health Minister Patty Hadju, said Friday.
