21 January 2019 - Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is giving Republicans an early test on their commitment to lowering drug prices.
Legislation sponsored by the Senate Finance Committee chairman and Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) would allow people to buy prescription drugs from approved pharmacies in Canada.
The bill is reigniting a long-simmering debate about drug importation, a proposal strongly opposed by the powerful pharmaceutical lobby.
