The so-called reimportation legislation would force drug comapnies to sell a certain amount of product to Canada and other countries with price controls on drugs, whether they want to or not.
Right now, Imclone doesn’t sell Erbitux to Canada because Canada’s health service wanted too little money for it. But Byron Dorgan and his allies, among them the socialist advocates of “free trade” at FR, would force Imclone to sell it whether or not the price is acceptable to Imclone.
In what sense is that “free trade”?
That isn’t free trade.
My being able to buy prescription drugs from Winnipeg w/o govt interference, however, is.
