Importation of Prescription Drugs - 10/12/04
Nov 4, 2004 3:50 PM
WHEREAS, prescription drug prices in the United States are sky high with prices rising beyond the rate of inflation, and
WHEREAS, drug prices in Canada are far below prices for the same drugs in the United States, and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives has approved a bill permitting importation of drugs from Canada, and
WHEREAS, the Senate, under the Republicans, have failed to permit a drug importation bill (Snow-Dorgan) from coming to a vote, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that we demand that the Senate leadership immediately permit a vote on the drug importation bill. We are confident that once a vote is taken on the bill, it will pass overwhelmingly on a bi-partisan basis.
