Though it has been a few years, I obtained a US prescription for a drug I purchased online through a Canadian pharm company. The doctor from whom I received the script was the one that told me about the Canadian online company. I was very happy with their services and the drug, while the drug was previously manufactured in/for the US, it wasn't for the reason I was prescribed it. It was very inexpensive.

As for tort reform and the lawsuits as the basis for driving up health care costs, that is one side of a story that the insurance companies want the public to believe. Med mal cases are the hardest to prevail upon and the most expensive to litigate. They are few and far between when you consider lawsuits in general. Your run of the mill auto accident cases are much more common and frankly none of us pay close to $1500 a month for auto insurance.

The health insurance companies are one of the most "impressive" lobbying voices in DC. I encourage you to look beyond their story.
