On most issues, Democrats and Republicans remain deeply divided. But there’s one policy that unites both parties — prescription drug importation.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration issued an executive order enabling states and individuals to import cheaper medications from foreign countries.
The Biden camp has similarly voiced support for allowing Americans to buy drugs from Canada. Both parties have good intentions.
Making medicines more affordable for patients is a goal nearly everyone shares. But importation isn’t the right solution. It would expose millions of Americans to potentially counterfeit medications while offering few, if any, actual savings.
