Lottie Re-importation of drugs from Canada

[Guest guest]

Hi Lottie

not sure how much cheaper drugs are,  My drug company paid $133.000 last year,

my share was $3,000 up front and my drug plan cost was around 80.00 per month

including dental.  Exjade cose around$6,000 per month and Nilotinib was another

six grand month, not countine my wifes drugs and other stuff,

it is hard for you Americans but we (at least me ) here in Canada

sure do not get a break by drug companies.  I was on disatnib for while it is

even

more expensive. 

Some of the less serious drugs are cheaper I guess by the amount of Americans

crossing the boarder, but for CML patients is is expensive.  Lucky I have

a good drug plan..

I think you will find this article very informative about what could happen if

we allow the importation of drugs from Canada and Europe, the market could

collapse. Please read the entire article before making up your mind before you

start a debate over it.
