Drugs from Canada: The market strikes back

JS Online: Canada threatens drug supply; Doyle seeks Bush's help:
"In recent weeks, Canadian Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh has said the threat of prescription drug shortages or higher prices for Canadians have made it necessary to establish new, more restrictive guidelines under which prescriptions for Americans could be filled. Those guidelines have not yet been established, but Canadian officials say they could include an outright ban on exporting drugs to the United States."
At some time, it would be nice if Democratic leaders would take some basic economic courses before they make policy decisions. Again, the Law of Unintended Consequences is like Newton's Third Law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". You can't avoid it.

Would it be nice if everything was handed to us? If government made everything fair? Considering the natural laws and economic principles, no. I'd hate to see the unintended results.
