This drug issue is the only thing seniors talk about in MN. It's a competition to see who got the cheapest blood pressure medicine in Mexico last month. They are absolutely obsessed with the topic. So naturally all our politicians are dancing to their tune. Our Sr. Senator has organized free bus rides to Canada to buy drugs. Our otherwise straight line conservative governor is now pushing a foreign drug importing scheme. So I’m not surprised that Gutknecht has jumped on the bandwagon too.

Enjoyed the article.. comes out with the problem and how to address it.. Put in price controls if that is what you want.. why buy medications from other countries.. This is nuts.. Congress again running away from a major problem. We should not have our elderly and sick running in buses to Canada and Mexico to buy drugs. Change the medicare program to supplement cost of drugs or price controls. We know how that will work, watch needed drugs that are not profitable with price controls disappear from the market.
