Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been pushing for approval to import prescription drugs from Canada, a plan initially endorsed by Donald Trump in 2020. Despite FDA approval for the program, Florida has not set a start date. Critics argue that drug importation could lead to counterfeit drugs and shortages in Canada. The program is focused on lowering costs for the state rather than benefiting Floridians directly. LifeScience Logistics has received $50 million to set up the program. DeSantis has filed a lawsuit against the FDA for delaying the program. Drug importation is seen as a popular concept but is complicated due to FDA requirements.
