The bottom line is that all cost savings evaporate when accounting for the cost of quality testing, the medical consequences of treatment failure, & the cost of treating an adverse medical event.  I have studied drug importation programs for more than two decades & recently completed an exhaustive analysis of the cost effectiveness of such programs.  In an analysis of 24 drugs obtained from Canada, I find that the presumed savings are exhausted in the treatment of only one patient in the case of Nexium for a representative state. ]]></description>
