Florida has sued federal health officials, accusing them of stalling the state's plan to import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada
officials on Wednesday, accusing them of stalling the state's plan to import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada.
The U.S. pharmaceutical industry for years has faced complaints over high prices and has been able to successfully lobby against proposals to import drugs at lower costs. Critics have argued importing drugs could lead to risks of counterfeit or ineffective medications that would be difficult for American governments to regulate.
Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature approved the state's importation program in 2019, but it requires approval from federal health officials before it can take effect. The state estimates taxpayers could save up to $150 million annually under the program, with supporters saying the drugs would still need to meet FDA standards and that 80% of drug ingredients used in the U.S. are foreign-made now.
