The Democrats don't just have a different idea how the Country should be run. They have a completely different country in mind. Not America!— Chuck Woolery (@chuckwoolery) January 12, 2017
.@BernieSanders has tried to let Americans buy lower priced meds for 18 YEARS, and was stopped last nite. READ —> https://t.co/lBmrrBXkuO https://t.co/GpDfltDh6U— David Sirota (@davidsirota) January 12, 2017
THE
pharmaceutical industry has a lot of problems in Washington these days,
its prices and profits proving an irresistible target for politicians
with hard-pressed elderly constituents and an election on the horizon.
But
there are few more persistent irritants than Representative Bernard
Sanders, the democratic socialist from Vermont who is one of two
independents in the House. Mr. Sanders, a gruff-spoken 58-year-old
native of Flatbush, with a thatch of white hair and a rumpled
60’s-academic style, has twice taken elderly constituents on
well-publicized trips to Canada to buy prescription drugs, highlighting
the lower prices across the border.
He
has pushed legislation that he said would allow American pharmacists
and distributors to ”reimport” prescription drugs approved by the Food
and Drug Administration from Canada and Mexico and sell them at lower
costs.
