The U.S. government's secret weapon to stop reimportation of drugs from Canada!

Cheap Canadian drugs will not be cheap when one U.S. dollar becomes worth less than one Canadian dollar . . . and we're getting close. This makes drug makers very happy, since Canadian drugs will no longer be cheaper than U.S. drugs. The dropping U.S. dollar also helps U.S. drug makers increase their revenues, by boosting income from international sales.

Of course, ANYTHING we import, which is most of the stuff YOU and I buy in stores, will get more expensive. But most of us don't have lobbyists in D.C., like Big Pharma.

Hmmm.
