A recent survey from Pew Trusts shows that Americans are worried about

foreign-made drugs. Notably, 70 percent were worried about Chinese products

and 54 percent were worried about Indian products.

Sen. Bennet (D-Colo.) has introduced legislation that he believes

will improve safety:

.. One of the steps that the new legislation will require is

demanding entry for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection for any

producer exporting to the United States.

.. It will mean hiring hundreds more FDA inspectors to be placed in

developing nations in order to be able to inspect plants more than once

every two years.

.. Another provision of the legislation will be unspecified but

increased protection of whistleblowers.

Let's assume for a second that the Sen. Bennet's proposal does what it says

it will and lowers the chance of bad drugs getting into the legitimate

supply chain. Before this enters into law, a critical analysis of the

legislation should determine the impact on drug price and safety, says

Bate, the Legatum Fellow in Global Prosperity at the American Enterprise

Institute:

.. It is possible that companies, in the United States and abroad,

will simply absorb the extra costs of these regulations.

.. It is also possible that if drugs become more expensive, then

insurers and the U.S. government will cover the excess (in which case the

taxpayer will cover the costs of these regulations).

.. But neither of these options will probably be complete or

universal in application, which means reduced access to medicines.

Furthermore, for the uninsured or underinsured, more expensive medicines

will create even greater incentive to access medicines from less regulated

sources, says Bate.

But there may be some good news. According to his own peer-reviewed and

published study, buying foreign-made drugs over the Internet from foreign

Web pharmacies is relatively safe as long as one chooses to buy from

licensed pharmacies approved by credentialing agency pharmacychecker.com,

says Bate.
