WASHINGTON - The House passed legislation Thursday effectively permitting the importation of lower-cost prescription drugs from places such as Canada, Australia and Europe.

The bill, passed by a 237-18 vote, faces a promised veto from President Bush over its price tag, and the administration also opposes the drug importation provision.

While this would drastically lower drug prices, Bush plans to veto this bill. It's nothing new, of course our government wouldn't spend a little extra so seniors and people without insurance could catch a break.

Rep. Mike Rogers(R-Mich) Says that it will "open the gates to every (drug) counterfeiter in the world."

If they would control what goes through our borders a little better, maybe they wouldn't have such a problem.

Representative government at it's best, the will of the people never seems to be of any significance anymore.
