We can almost count on BOTH parties to squash this because BIG PHARMA spends millions buying Congresscritters by the dozen even so-called Liberals like Cory Booker. They use the absurd excuse that imported drugs don't meet FDA quality standards. The truth is most of these drugs are made under the same FDA rules even outside the country by the exact same companies. They just want MONOPOLY control of the pricing and Congress has allowed it EXCEPT in the case of the Veterans Dept.

I predict that when our generation gets just a few years older, we will be dropping like flies because we can't afford medical care including drugs. Importing drugs would be a financial bonus for the vast majority of people who do not have magnificent elite assets. Will this get squashed? If it gets to the federal level - probably, yes.
