Two-thirds of Americans strongly believe a law prohibiting pharmaceutical imports from Canada and other countries is intended to protect Big Pharma profits and only 9% feel strongly that it helps protect Americans from potentially harmful drugs, The WSJ reports.
The online poll, conducted Aug. 23-25, shows 80% of Americans favor allowing people to import prescription drugs from Canada and other countries if they are much less expensive there.
More than three-quarters of those polled said they believe confiscating drugs at the Canadian border jeopardizes the health of some Americans, compared with 15% who disagree.
And 84% of those surveyed said they agree with making it legal to import drugs from Canada if they are approved and vetted by that country's drug regulatory agency, Health Canada, compared with 9% who disagree.
Insider's view: Sensible folks! The PhRMA "Karasik Conspiracy" and internet pharmacy worries are just smoke and mirrors. Legit imports are the way forward!
Just ask the good Dr Peter Rost!
