House passes drug import bill
"The House approved legislation early Friday to allow the importation of lower-cost prescription drugs from industrialized nations, brushing aside opposition from the Bush administration and a fierce lobbying campaign by the pharmaceutical industry... THE VOTE was 243-186, and sent the measure to the Senate, where it faced an uncertain fate."
How do y'all feel about drug importation (or reimportation in some cases) from other countries? This topic has been touched on in this forum before, but if this bill becomes law it seems like it would have a significant impact on the pharmaceutical industry in this country. Would this have any impact on the practice of pharmacy?
