Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle Hammers "Big Pharma's FDA

How ironic that most of these Canadian drugs [not so cheap for Canadians when CDN prices leaped anywhere from 350 % to 800% when the much hated Mulroney regime gave pharmacartels an increase on royalties and extended patent rights in the mid 1980's] are identical to their U.S. counterparts and many are actually manufactured - guess where - the U.S.A. The positive side of this is the higher the bankrupting cost of drugs the more people will be forced to seek the cheaper, safer and more effective natural therapies. That is why the pharmacartels have to marginalize, control or eliminate the natural health products industry...- CW

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle Hammers "Big Pharma's FDA..."
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

The State of Wisconsin, from the Governor on down, is not friendly to the "status quo" in health care.

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has joined the ranks of Americans, in public office, openly defying Food and Drug Administration (FDA) edicts about Americans buying Canadian prescription drugs on the internet. The FDA has issued an edict informing Americans that it is illegal to purchase prescription drugs from Canadian sources on the internet.

Doyle met with Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, yesterday, to compare notes on how to implement the plan. The "drug" issue will most likely end up as a national election issue in the upcoming Presidential Election.

Big Pharma has gone "all-out" nationally in their attempt to stop US citizens from buying prescription drugs at much lower prices on the internet from Canadian providers. But serious questions are now arising about "who, exactly, is the FDA working for? Big Pharma, or US citizens?"
