OMB Budget Document:
"The Budget supports the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) new efforts to allow Americans to buy safe and effective drugs from other countries ..."
Don't kid yourself by thinking this has anything to do with lowering costs for seniors (because even the AARP says Part D is a better deal) or "broadening access" for the uninsured (which is what pharmaceutical patient assistance programs are for). Importation is yet another stealth strategy towards a straight up price control regime for medicines. If importation goes forward, you don't need to revoke the Non-Interferene Clause. This has been Rahm Emanuel's strategy for the past few years and now he's an agent in place.
If you like "universal care" provided by Uncle Sam, MD -- you're going to love importation.
Here we go again.
