"Many people may be familiar with proposals to give our seniors access to cheaper drugs by importing drugs from other countries, such as Canada. This, too, is a gimmick. It has been assessed multiple times by the Congressional Budget Office, and CBO has said it would have no meaningful effect."


This may be true on some large scale, but on an individual basis it's just not so.

The guy finishing up the painting in my kitchen right now gets all of his medical care in Mexico and buys his insulin there as well. He pays a small fraction of what he would pay here.
