Question

Should the United States legalize the importation of lower cost pharmaceuticals? If so, should this apply to individual consumers, pharmacies, or other entities?

Answer 1

Yes, importation of lower cost pharmaceuticals should be legalized by the pharmaceuticals but the import product or the drug should pass the standard test so that health of the patients is not at the risk because of lower cost pharmaceuticals. This regulatory norms for guidelines for the product to make its market in the United States should be passed. Initially this authority should be given to the government or a government agency which checks that all the above regulations are passed and later pharmacies should be allowed. But individual consumers should not be allowed to import the lower cost pharmaceuticals.
