The Cincinnati Enquirer: on Health Care


Dan Mongiardo: Push for cheaper drugs from Canada

MONGIARDO: It is absolutely absurd that we as Americans are paying more for prescription drugs than our neighbors in Canada for medicines made here in the USA.

BUNNING: You’re cashing their checks. You better look at your own portfolio before talking out of both sides of your mouth.

MONGIARDO: If I was trying to make money on my drug stocks, I wouldn’t be pushing for cheaper drugs from Canada. I don’t care about the money. I’m over here with middle-class families because they are struggling.
