My wife, with Parkinson's disease, is the dreaded doughnut hole. A recent prescription would have cost us $565. I found I could fill the prescription through a licensed Canadian pharmacy for $49---from the same U.S. manufacturer! Mike

White House petition to protect access to affordable medicine

posted Wed, 1 Aug 2012

Section 708 of the new FDA Safety and Innovation Act (S. 3187) gives government agencies the authority to seize and destroy prescription drugs that are imported for personal use.

We are calling on our supporters to let the Obama Administration know how you feel about this unfair regulation.

This provision was clearly crafted by big drug companies at the expense of public health. It has no business being a part of the FDA bill. Over a million Americans each year rely on importation to access their vital medicines at prices they can afford.

Please show your support by signing your name to this petition and passing it on to your friends and colleagues.
