A further basic is that a prescription dispensed in Canada requires the authority of a Canadian physician with knowledge of the patient. Quite how this is done for residents of the USA and in the numbers bandied about is something of a mystery. What never seems to occur to people is that the Canadian system is a product of decades of refinement and is geared to the needs of the Canadian population. Demands from outside the system, if they continue, run the risk of jeopardising the distribution and pricing balance that has been achieved, ultimately to the detriment of Canadian residents. But who cares about that when it's just too easy to hop a train or order through edrugs? If there is a recognised problem within the USA regarding drug pricing, most Canadians (except those profiting from the situation)would be happy to see a made in the USA solution rather than seeing the problem exported. Is that too much to expect? If the export of Canadian prescription drugs continues to increase, I would expect to see barriers go up preserve the internal operations of the health system.
