Somebody can’t create an import export company that buys drugs for fractions of the price in India and then opens a pharmacy here.

Thank god. As much as people like to take their lives into their own hands buying drugs in Mexico, the simple fact is many countries don’t have the same rigorous chain of custody requirements for drug products the US has. For something in a pressed pill format (i.e. viagara) this is less of an issue than for things like IV drugs that have requirements for storage.
Even for pills chain of custody is important to ensure you’re getting what you think you’re getting. Bear in mind that something like half of imported olive oil is fake. If your “olive oil” is actually a cheaper oil… no big deal, right? But if your medicine isn’t what it’s supposed to be? That’s a huge issue.[/quote]
Ha! you trust your life with corrupt as hell FDA but not drugs from Mexico?
Are you sure there are stringent requirements or even if they are ‘rigorous’ here compared to other countries?
Do you have proof by any measure of how safe drugs are here compared to EU or even Mexico?
It is exactly this liberal daddy-knows-better attitude or our FDA looks out for our bests interests that piss the voters off.
FDA works for their pharma customers, not you the american.[/quote]
Haha, but you miss the point that FDA is inherently an unconstitutional organization. So in addition to the IRS, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, the Department of Education and HUD, future Republican presidential candidates shall include FDA as an organization that shall be eliminated. The benefit is not only it will reduce the federal spending but it will give American people the freedom to choose whatever medical options that are available in the market. By deregulate this market, it will spur the innovation and drive down the medical cost and insurance premium. 🙂
