The Economics of Drug Reimportation

On ClayCalhoun.com yesterday, guest Blogger, Capitalist Idea, did a very good post on the issue of reimporting prescription drugs from Canada. The economics of lost revenue on US sales compared to the loss of all drug sales in Canada was made very simply. Capitalist Idea also makes the case very well of the danger of importing counterfeit drugs.

During the Presidential Debates last fall, it was easy to see there are many that want to believe that counterfeiting or adulteration of drugs is not a real risk. Yet, the news of side effects and drugs being removed from the market should give us pause to think. If the prescription drugs you purchased for a price that was too good to be true do you harm, who will you hold accountable?
