WINDSOR, Ontario - U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders joined diabetes patients as they drove across the border on Sunday to buy cheap insulin in Canada, highlighting his argument in favor of federally negotiated prescription drug prices.
“We should be doing what the Canadians do, and that means sitting down with the drug companies and negotiating a price,” he said. The U.S. government should set drug costs based on the average prices in six other countries, including Canada, Sanders said. He also called again for the United States to allow healthcare providers and others to import drugs to reduce costs.
