Al, I am sure subsidies would not survive if the US allowed re-importation, so it means that the market would stabilize on pricing negotiated with drug companies in both Canada and the US. The effect would probably be lower profits for drug cos, but not hugely lower. The article alludes to that, which is why I posted it. The safety issue is a smokescreen.

Thanks, Al. Personally, I think re-importation is the wrong way to go, since if the goal is lower prices, then we should just impose price controls here. Re-importation would only amount to the worst of all worlds, and no one other than the bureaucrats will like it.
