Why not allow them to purchase them in America for the same price?
On Day 1 of my administration we will allow Americans to purchase low-cost prescription drugs from Canada.pic.twitter.com/tQunnB2n5N

because patent laws would have to change in order to accomplish that. It will take much more time than a single day
-
We could regulate the market like they do in the other developed countries. Congress should/could do that now.
-
They won't do that cause there's too much competition. Having 1 ins. Company ie
#MedicareForAll would take out the competition and be able to negotiate prices down cause they will be the main buyer. -
Completely agree.

How isn't this already a thing, really? Even the free marketers should be all about it: fair competition and all that.
-
They'd rather drain the public's money than actually compete, that's why. They don't have any actual convictions aside from avarice.
-
Yeah I've experienced far too much hypocrisy from professed free marketers to take any of their arguments without a giant grain of salt.
-
They don't want competition, they want total market control.

On Day 2, there will be a shortage of low-cost prescriptions in Canada.
-
No they will just amp up production
-
Just like that Canadian pharmacy knew Bernie was coming last week. Things can be prepared for.

Hopefully you will also be partnering with the Government of Canada to make sure the Canadian supply doesn't get depleted for its own citizens, once a country with 10x out population starts buying up our supply.

No, Bernie, fix the problem here. Let's not drive up drug prices for Canadians.

He’s going to but it’s gonna take more than a few days so that’s why it’s a day 1 policy. For those that need help right away until it changes
-
Then you know who’s going to need help right away... Canadians.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/american-demand-canada-drug-supply-1.5226871 …

Right but why should we have to?
-
Drug companies will have to lower their prices to compete with the Canadians once we do this.
-
TRue true - I just thought of that.
