     @laurelrusswurm Actually, these are mostly generic drugs that pharma companies no longer wish to produce b/c they don't produce profits :-(

     @stav it is the other side of the coin: corporate greed. I think it is incredible that your gov't is considering spending that much...

     @laurelrusswurm too many peeps hurt/die each year by bad/fake imported drugs. Also greed-driven, unfortunately, by internet "pharmacies"

     @laurelrusswurm best idea proposed in article is to set up onshore nonprofit to manufacture needed generic drugs as backup

     @stav if the government embargoed medicine imports; #rxdrug manufacturers would have to make them on US soil where they could have oversight

     @stav people buy bad/fake #rxdrugs because they are desperate. "Democratic" governments should protect citizens not corporations. so sad :(
