A Wall Street Journal online/Harris Interactive poll shows that two-thirds of Americans strongly believe a law prohibiting pharmaceutical imports from Canada and other countries is intended to protect drug-company profits. Only 9% feel strongly that it helps protect Americans from potentially harmful drugs.
Other poll results:
"80% of Americans favor allowing people to import prescription drugs from Canada and other countries if they are much less expensive there.
More than three-quarters of those polled said they believe confiscating drugs at the Canadian border jeopardizes the health of some Americans, compared with 15% who disagree. And 84% of those surveyed said they agree with making it legal to import drugs from Canada if they are approved and vetted by that country's drug regulatory agency, Health Canada, compared with 9% who disagree."
