AGENCY
7/25 ,8/1,8/8,8/15/19
CNS-3257229#LegalNotices Legal Noticespushing the idea.
The administration’s
move drew praise from Sen-
ate Finance Committee
Chairman Charles E. Grass-
ley (R-Iowa), who has been
pushing legislation to rein in
drug prices in the U.S.
AARP applauded the im-
portation proposal.
“There is a crisis in drug
prices, and the safe, legal
importation of less expen-
sive prescription drugs
is one step that will help
lower costs and add com-
petitive pressure on drug-
makers,” said Nancy Lea-
Mond, AARP executive vice
president.
It’s widely believed
among experts that drug im-
portation will not alone
solve the drug-pricing crisis,
and several consumer advo-
cates called Wednesday for
more aggressive steps to
confront the industry.
“Importing medicine is
no national solution to our
crisis of unaffordable medi-
cine at home,” said Peter
Maybarduk, director of Pub-
lic Citizen’s Access to Medi-
cines Program. “Our govern-
ment needs to challenge the
power of drugmakers head
on, beginning by negotiating
prices directly on behalf of
Medicare.”
As a candidate in 2016,
Trump called for Medicare
to use its market power to se-
cure lower prices for the mil-
lions of seniors and disabled
Americans who rely on the
government health plan.
But his administration
has thus far resisted taking
steps to do this, even though
most other wealthy coun-
tries directly or indirectly
regulate the prices their citi-zens pay for pharmaceu-
ticals.
And just weeks ago, Re-
publicans on the Senate Fi-
nance Committee killed an
effort by Democrats to in-
clude a Medicare negotia-
tion provision in a drug-pric-
ing bill the committee devel-
oped.
If finalized, the adminis-
tration’s importation pro-
posal would allow states,
wholesalers and pharma-
cists to get FDA approval to
import certain medications
from Canada that are also
available in the U.S.
Canada’s drug prices,
though often lower than
those in the U.S., are
still typically higher than
in Western European na-
tions.
Many U.S. patients take
relatively lower priced ge-
neric drugs to manage con-ditions such as high blood
pressure or elevated blood
sugar.
But the advent of expen-
sive specialty medications
for cancer and other
diseases have pushed up
costs dramatically at the
same time that many drug-
makers have raised prices
on long-available drugs such
as insulin, a crucial medi-
cation for patients with dia-
betes.
Just this week, Sen.
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who
is seeking the Democratic
presidential nomination,
said he took a group of dia-
betes patients to Canada to
buy lower-priced insulin to
dramatize the problem.
And across the country,
other Democratic presi-
dential hopefuls have been
hammering Trump for not
doing more to bring drugprices under control.
Trump is supporting a
Senate bill to cap medi-
cation costs for Medicare re-
cipients and require drug-
makers to pay rebates to the
program if price increases
exceed inflation.
And the president has
backed a Florida law allow-
ing state residents to gain
access to medications from
Canada.
But Democrats in theHouse are still pressing
for a vote on a bill allowing
Medicare to directly negoti-
ate prices on behalf of mil-
lions of seniors enrolled in
the Part D prescription drug
plan.
Separately, the Trump
administration is pursuing a
regulation that would tie
what Medicare pays for
drugs administered in doc-
tors’ offices to lower interna-
tional prices.Importing drugs from Canada
