Re: "...Some free-market economists, including some at Cato, think the current ban on reimportation is not justifiable. That is no surprise: Free-market economists usually dislike governmental restrictions on free trade." Count me AMONG THEM. Re: "But the free-market perspective does not yield an easy answer here. Free-market economists believe the government should enforce private contracts. Imagine that drug companies sold inexpensive drugs to Canada with the contract provision that they not be resold to the United States." Why 'imagine'????????????? Do they or DON'T they? This is the real world we are talking about here, not some university debating society. IS that a FACT, or ISN'T it?
