A highly promising bill currently making its way through the Texan legislative process holds the potential to provide substantial savings on prescription drug costs for Texans. The Texas House has recently given its wholehearted endorsement to a proposal that would empower residents to purchase specific prescription medications from their neighboring country, Canada.
The bill will now proceed to the Texas Senate for careful deliberation and eventual approval. If the legislation successfully passes, it could assist Texans in retaining hundreds of pounds in their pockets, alleviating the burden of exorbitant medication expenses that many have long struggled to bear.
Online pharmacies, such as Canada Pharmacy, offer US citizens access to medications in the same manner as physical pharmacies, but at lower costs. Canada Pharmacy has disclosed that other states, including Colorado and Florida, are also exploring changes to the regulations governing the purchase of medications, as they believe patients could save up to 65% on their prescriptions. Florida has predicted potential savings of a staggering $150 million for their state agencies.
Similar programs have already been implemented in New Mexico, Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
Considering that 40% of individuals aged over 65 take more than five medications monthly to manage their health conditions, it is estimated that many could save up to £200 per month on their prescriptions, with some saving as much as £900.
A spokesperson from Canada Pharmacy commented: “The cost of prescription drugs in the US is placing an immense strain on household budgets. Patients who rely on expensive monthly medications to manage their health conditions could save up to 70% by ordering their prescriptions online from Canada.
“We are a CIPA certified pharmacy. Every customer must provide a prescription, and every order is dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. The process is identical to that of visiting a pharmacy in the US, but at a significantly lower cost.
“The same drugs are being dispensed in Canada and Mexico, yet US citizens are paying substantially more for them. There must be systemic reasons within the US pharmaceutical industry that account for these discrepancies in prices,” he added.
Advocating politicians mentioned that the bill could save lives by reducing the cost of crucial medications for many Texans.
In the US, a single EpiPen costs £265, but Texans and other US residents could acquire it for £91 by ordering it from Canada.
