Florida has not yet started its drug importation program from Canada, despite receiving approval nearly a year ago from the FDA. Governor Ron DeSantis has criticized the delay and filed a lawsuit against the FDA. The program aims to save the state money on Medicaid and other agency drug costs. However, challenges such as finding companies to work with and Canadian government opposition have delayed implementation. Similar programs in other states, such as Colorado, have also faced barriers. The pharmaceutical industry and the Canadian government have expressed concerns about the safety and efficacy of imported drugs.
