Senators Murray and Cantwell voted against importation of pharmaceuticals from Canada due to safety concerns. Really? Or is it because they are indebted to the drug manufacturers who pad their campaign coffers?

US-produced drugs are less expensive in every country we export them to, and often by half of what we pay in the country of origin. Any attempt to block the importation is no more than another example of our corrupt political system.

No wonder Trump had any chance of winning the Presidency. Drain the swamp indeed.
