Canadian drugs a possibility after all?

By GottaLaff

Bob Cesca brings us this glimmer. I'll tease, you pop over to Bob's house:

Susie Madrak has some great news on the Canadian reimportation issue -- directly from the White House.

What's that strange new feeling? Are the corners of my mouth starting to turn upwards?

Bowing to the drug industry

Earlier, Paddy posted a link to this story:

Washington Times: Clash over re-import of drugs stalls health bill The health care debate ground to a halt Thursday over a squabble among Democrats that could threaten the deal President Obama struck with pharmaceutical companies to earn their support for the health care overhaul.

A couple of sentences in the L.A. Times version of this story struck me:

But the seemingly popular proposal brought the Senate healthcare debate to a standstill Thursday, as Democrats divided over whether they should bow to the drug industry's fierce opposition.

And:

Despite Obama's support for importation, the White House fears that if the amendment is approved, the drug industry will oppose the bill.

It's not nice to fool Big Pharma.
