why no rx imports from canada?

Conservatives argue that the Mercks and Pfizers want (deserve) to recover the billions they spend on research to develop new drugs... Well, I'm all for that, but why do it on the backs of the American consumer? Americans pay some of the highest drug prices of the advanced capitalist countries, anything that will bring drug prices down (in the U.S.) I'm for. If everyone was gouged the same it would be one thing, but with Americans getting hit with very high drug prices; I say import from Canada...

p.s. By the way, it's interesting the 'anti-regulation' Republicans actually want Uncle Sam to intervene here and put a check on the 'free' market to benefit Big Pharma. Just amazing...
