Vermont signs law to allow import of prescription drugs from Canada
17 May 2018 - Vermont Governor Phil Scott signed a law on Wednesday that will allow the import of prescription drugs from Canada into the U.S. state in a move that would help tackle rising drug prices.
The law is yet to be certified by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is opposed to the idea.
"Canada simply doesn't have enough drugs to sell them to us for less money, and drug companies won't sell Canada or Europe more just to have them imported here," HHS Secretary Alex Azar said here on Wednesday.
