Prescription Drug Reimportation
The disparity of drug costs in the United States, Canada and Europe remains striking. TSCL supports legislation which would, in our view, make safe and secure prescription drug re-importation a reality. TSCL believes that the Medicare prescription drug benefit law is flawed and further attention should be given, and action taken, to lower prescription drug costs.
Unfortunately, during the debate over the health care law, the Senate rejected an amendment to allow safe and secure prescription drug re-importation. TSCL will work to ensure that legislation permitting the safe re-importation of prescription drugs is introduced during the 112th Congress. The goal remains to seek safe and affordable medicines for all Americans.
