Thanks for your comment. However…

There are no “well-documented” or “significant” safety issues with ordering medications from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Give me specific examples of Americans harmed by ordering drugs from licensed pharmacies, please.

As for your macroeconomics case, it sounds like Big Pharma has nothing to fear financially then. So they can stop fighting reimportation now.

And you’re going to take the time and space to point out that reimportation would help my small business — without pointing out that Big Pharma’s opposition is specifically for the purpose of continuing to line its pockets.

Way to look out for the Big Guys, Adam. We obviously don’t already have enough politicians and corporations doing that.

Have you considered the macroeconomics of importation? A falling dollar reduces or eliminates any potential savings, especially since the CBO’s studies. With gigantic budget deficits and debt as far as the eye can see, it seems unlikely that we will see a strong U.S. dollar anytime soon. See http://www.drugchannels.net/2009/03/more-on-drug-importation-economics.html.

Consider: Currency fluctuations have turned the UK from the biggest importer of parallel trade products into the biggest exporter — along with accompanying shortages. (http://www.drugchannels.net/2009/01/parallel-trade-and-uk-drug-shortages.html)

While I recognize that importation would help your personal business, it may be quite foolish and short-sighted public policy.
