Big Pharma tries to scare people away from imported pharmaceuticals
According to the LA Times,... According to [a] proposal, PhRMA [the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America] would pay Phoenix [Books] a six-figure sum for the marketing and production of a written-to-order fictional thriller. The plotline was what Hollywood would term high-concept — a group of shadowy terrorists conspires to murder thousands of Americans by poisoning the medicine they're importing from Canada to beat U.S. drug prices. (Think "True Lies" meets the Physicians Desk Reference.)If this scenario sounds familiar, it's because PhRMA has tried to scare state legislatures and Congress out of giving Americans access to cheap Canadian drugs by warning that terrorists might poison the imports.
