To Keep Access to Canadian Drugs, Tell Bush Administration to Back Off

Protect your freedom to purchase affordable prescription drugs by telling President Bush to stop pressuring Canada to eliminate cross-border drug sales            

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're one of the two million Americans that rely on a Canadian source like DoctorSolve for affordable prescription drugs, or you want to protect our American freedom to buy drugs from Canada, it's time to take action at http://www.doctorsolve.com/fightForMeds.asp.   According to Dave MacKay, executive director of the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA), Canada may eliminate prescription drug exportation as early as next month due to political pressure in the form of intimidation tactics and possibly trade concessions from the Bush Administration. Despite extensive pressure on the Canadian government to resist, MacKay adds that the industry needs your support now.

"We'd appreciate your assistance in our fight to provide you, and other Americans, with affordable prescription medications," says MacKay. "This is a direct attempt by the Bush Administration on behalf of Big Pharma to protect drug company profits, and it is at your expense and ours. We strongly encourage you to urge President Bush not to make drug importation a trade issue."

Although Dr. Paul Zickler, co-founder of DoctorSolve Healthcare Solutions in Vancouver, B.C., believes that the government's final decision regarding the proposed legislation could go either way, and firmly supports CIPA's position, he'sprepared DoctorSolve to service American customers regardless of the outcome.

"The issue has not been resolved yet," says Zickler. "There is significant pressure on the government to rethink its position. However, we've made arrangements so that we can continue to provide our patients with the medications they need, along with the same excellent, responsible service." Zickler adds that while he hopes to divert this crisis and continue providing affordable medications through the Canadian system, Americans can continue to depend on DoctorSolve for safe, affordable and easy access to medications.
