Pres. Obama should take concerted action to nullify Section 708 of the new FDA Safety and Innovation Act (S. 3187), which gives government agencies the authority to seize and destroy prescription drugs that are imported for personal use.
This provision was clearly crafted by big drug companies' lobyists at the expense of public health. It has no business being a part of the FDA bill. We, like over a million other Americans each year, rely on importation to access vital medicines at affordable prices.
