I order generic medication that is not yet available in generic in the US. The cost difference is about $75/month. My husband was recently put on a very expensive generic medication which is 50% cheaper ordering from Canada. We both have Medicare Part D but the co-pays on both of these medications is high and we will also hit the "donut hole" making it impossible to get the medication we need. Barbara

Take action to support the McCain Amendment!

posted Fri, 18 May 2012

We just got word that Senator John McCain plans to introduce an amendment to the Food and Drug Administration act reauthorization (S. 3187) to allow prescription drug importation from Canadian online pharmacies. Please join us in speaking out to support his action.

Tens of thousands of Americans already rely on the virtual lifeline to medicine provided by legitimate international online pharmacies. While we believe that the amendment could be broadened to include additional countries besides Canada, this is a common sense and critical first step towards providing Americans with better access to sources of safe and affordable medicine.

The FDA bill will likely go up for a full Senate vote next week. In the meantime, we urge you to email your senators. Tell them that all Americans deserve access to medicine they can afford!
