$10M a year? No.
$100M a year? No.
$500M a year? No.

Brand-name prescription drugs invented in America cost more than twice as much in the U.S. as in Canada. Americans deserve better.
This week, I introduced bipartisan legislation to save Americans money by allowing them to import their medications from pharmacies in Canada.
