This will affect anyone who is getting drugs from Canada or elsewhere outside the U.S. I got this information from the Canadian pharmacy that I use, so they are taking this very seriously.
Petition needs to be signed by Aug. 31. You have to set up an account to sign the petition so they know you are legit. It can take a few minutes for the email back to your address, then you click on the link or paste into browser.
Here is the link and the text of the petition:
we petition the obama administration to:
Continue to allow Americans to import life-sustaining prescription drugs from safe international online pharmacies.
We urge the administration to delay rule-making regarding Section 708 of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act, which gives government agencies the authority to seize and destroy safe, imported medications valued at $2500 or less. Such low value shipments are clearly personal prescription drug orders.
Over the past decade, millions of Americans have safely imported prescription drugs from licensed pharmacies in Canada and other countries because U.S. drug prices are unaffordable. This law will lead to higher healthcare costs, sickness, and even death.
Seniors and countless Americans who can't afford the high price of U.S. medicine will be unjustly targeted and physically harmed by this regulation. Don't implement this regulation until there is a solution to assist these needy Americans.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER FORUMS IF YOU CAN. THEY DON'T HAVE NEARLY ENOUGH SIGNATURES YET. AND YOU CAN ALSO ALERT YOUR FEDERAL LEGISLATORS. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN JUST LYME PEOPLE.
