Guv passes a bill…. in Vermont
Tuesday, Feb 15, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller Less than two weeks ago, you may recall, Governor Rod Blagojevich sent letters to the Vermont House and the governor urging them to pass and sign an I-Save Rx bill that he had promoted and had been approved by a Senate committee. Well, yesterday, the Vermont legislature passed the bill. The state Legislature has passed a bill authorizing the state to take part in a program that allows residents to buy prescription drugs from Canada. Gov. Jim Douglas plans to sign the measure, which would make Vermont the fourth state to join the program, I-Save Rx, first put in place by Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois last fall. Vermont sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August for rejecting a plan with a Canadian pharmacy in which Vermonters could receive mail-order prescriptions. Bet he couldn’t repeat that rapid success in Illinois right now.

Thank you Thank you Thank You. That should start somthing now with other states to try to do the same. Vermont has been a starting point for good things (except may be the mormans) Just kidding ha ha but really that is wonderful news and Rod get off your A##. More states need to follow suit and maybe soon we as a people can stand up aginst the big RX Companies.
I dont want to pay out of My a## any more than i have to so is just say Thank You and i want to move back to Vermont (or to Canada)
