H. RES. 26
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the disparity
between identical prescription drugs sold in the United States, Canada,
and Mexico.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 31, 2001
Mr. BALDACCI (for himself and Mrs. EMERSON) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regard-
ing the disparity between identical prescription drugs
sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Whereas according to the General Accounting Office, a con-
sumer in the United States pays on average one-third
more for a prescription drug than a consumer pays for
the same drug in another country;
Whereas according to the General Accounting Office, costs
for prescription drugs between 1993 and 1998 increased
an average of 12.4 percent per year as compared to an
increase of 5 percent per year for health care expendi-
tures in general;
Whereas currently one-third of senior citizens in the United
States are without prescription drug insurance, and these
•HRES 26 IH
individuals pay on average 15 percent more for a pre-
scription than do citizens with prescription drug insur-
ance coverage;
Whereas it is difficult for many Americans, including senior
citizens, to afford the prescription drugs that they need
to stay healthy;
Whereas many senior citizens in the United States leave the
country and go to Canada or Mexico to buy prescription
drugs that are developed, manufactured, and approved in
the United States in order to buy such drugs at lower
prices than such drugs are sold for in the United States;
Whereas the United States has made a strong commitment
to supporting the research and development of new drugs
through taxpayer-supported funding of the National In-
stitutes of Health, through the research and development
tax credit, and through other means;
Whereas the development of new drugs is important because
the use of such drugs enables people to live longer and
lead healthier, more productive lives;
Whereas citizens of other countries should pay a portion of
the research and development costs for new drugs, or
their fair share of such costs, rather than just reap the
benefits of such drugs; and
Whereas many State governments are undertaking a variety
of plans to address the needs of citizens who lack afford-
able drug coverage: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the cost disparity between identical pre-
•HRES 26 IH
scription drugs sold in the United States, Canada, and
Mexico should be reduced or eliminated.
