The cost of healthcare in the United States is quite high at 16% of GDP compared to 8-10% in other developed countries. This is abundantly clear in the price of patented prescription medications where Canadian prescription medications are generally 20-70% less expensive than comparable products in the U.S. This is a result of the simple fact that drug manufacturers sell their products in other countries at lower prices and patent protection periods are typically shorter in those countries.
It is now accepted that prescription medications from developed countries are safe, effective and inexpensive. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill allowing importation from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the 20 European countries that were members of the European Union as of January 1, 2003. The U.S. Senate currently favors a similar bill by a margin of 75-25. Further, after some 12 million shipments from Canadian pharmacies, the Food and Drug Administration and all the state Boards of Pharmacy can’t produce ONE person that has been harmed by Canadian medications.
