Michigan Lawmakers Who Oppose Reimportation Get Windfall from Drug Makers (Source: Detroit Free Press) From the article: Drug companies gave generously to many Michigan lawmakers this election, but those who oppose the reimportation of drugs from Canada got a much larger windfall than others. Fifteen drug companies gave a total of $134,744 to ten U.S. House and Senate members from Michigan as of Oct. 13... Ninety-five percent of that total -- $128,189 -- went to five U.S. House members who oppose reimportation. Drug companies, along with President Bush and the Food and Drug Administration, oppose reimportation because they say there's no way to guarantee the safety of drugs coming in from other countries. Supporters say that's a scare tactic designed to protect drug companies' profits.
