1. We need to fix our own system instead of relying on the Canadians
Yeah, I know, it doesn't help right now, but until people start to feel the pain, they aren't going to wake up to corporate greed.

3. If Lipitor is an unproven new drug, they had better take it off the market

4. It's been happening for years!
I've had my wife's Claritin stolen by the thugs in Customs several times over the years. There are no doctors within an hour drive that will prescribe it, so we're stuck buying it mail-order from Canada.
