Trump's solution to drug prices - Canadian (-ien) Socialism

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

So the United States can't put forth any limits on drug pricing, so Donald Trump is proposing to allow importing of drugs from Canada to the US.

The Trump administration said Wednesday it will create a pathway allowing Americans to legally and safely import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada for the first time, reversing years of opposition from federal health authorities amid a public outcry over high prices for life-sustaining medications.

One of the main concerns with importing drugs is safety. But Canada isn't exactly a third world nation.

Then this leads to the next concern... why in the fuck are we requiring Americans to get their drugs via mail order from another country... a country that put pricing limits on drugs?!

Trump and the right wing - Socialism is evil!!!
Trump - Let's get our drugs from a socialist nation.

Getting drugs are prices that are affordable, from Canada, should be a last ditch effort among Americans... not the US Government's health care plan.

Hold on, Jimmy. It's worse than you imagine. Bernie Sanders has been saying we should do this for years. It was something he mentioned when campaigning for President. Even after that, in 2017, he and Cory Booker made a bill to do this. The bill was specifically about Canada.

Here's a reference to the bill in old news article from 23 Aug 2017:

So, it's more like this:

Sanders: We should get some prescription drugs from a medically safe neighboring country, like Canada. Their drugs are safe and this will increase competition.
Right-wing: Wow, what an idiot! That's communism!
---2 years pass---
Right Wing: socialism is evil. Look at all the far left Democrats and the Squad!
Trump: We will come up with a superior Republican health care program.
Trump - Let's get our drugs from Canada.
Right Wing: Yes, let's introduce more capitalist competition into our system. What a genius!!!
