"F.D.A. Approves States' Importation of Prescription Drugs from Canada"

The FDA is set to approve Florida's plan to import prescription drugs from Canada, a move that could save the state an estimated $150 million in its first year. This decision marks a significant policy shift in the U.S. and aims to tackle high drug prices. The pharmaceutical industry, particularly PhRMA, is expected to challenge the plan legally. While the move has broad political and public support, experts suggest it may not address the fundamental issues causing high drug prices in the U.S.
