LETTERS: Insulin, already too expensive in Canada, shouldn’t be sold to Americans
Effective this year, several American states have passed bills to
allow their citizens and local governments to purchase medical supplies
from Canada. President Donald Trump has authorized them to go ahead as
medications are cheaper here. As an example, insulin, which doesn’t
require a prescription in Canada to purchase, is Cdn. $70; south of the
border, it’s U.S. $340 for 100 cc.

So far, in Quebec and London, Ont., there have been reports of buses
full of Americans buying our medications in bulk. This can happen in
B.C. as Colorado has passed a similar bill.
