There are some things about residing in America that over-rides the extenuating circumstances that are going on in the other parts of this globe. We know that malaria and aids are epidemics in some really hurting places, and any relief is welcome, but not here. In the US we have established Governing institutions that have been given the responsibility to oversee, not only the quality and safety of the products extended to Americans' consumption, but also have checks and balances set up to check and see as to where all this money is going. If we weren't in such perilous times, where the money goes would not be such a big factor, when it came down to "who gets the guns and who don't". The question was if we as Americans should be allowed to send our money elsewhere, and by-pass the regulations that have always proven themselves to be adequate, and support some shady deal, waiting in the shadows of who knows where, to be able to save a few bucks? Well let's look at it

The idea of saving money is the very reason for this question, and this idea has always driven Americans to free enterprise, when it came to tearing down the monopoly concept of anything, for the very reason of bringing competitive prices across the board, thus keeping prices under control. Americans should always be allowed to buy their medications from any pharmacy or drug store that is made available to them here in this country, not only for their safety but for our nations' safety as well. If you let me elaborate, let me bring a scenario to mind in order to present my point. Let's suppose I was a combatant of some extremist group and I wanted to destroy the US; I would have to consider my options carefully. An opposing Army hasn't worked, cyber espionage failed, and secret missions are constantly being exposed, but one thing is for sure, there is someway to do it, and this is what they are trying now. If we can get the Americans to open the locked doors, and drop these impenetrable bridges, and just get them to start doing business with us, we can assuredly bring them to their knees. The way I can do this is to make the Americans believe that they are being robbed by this fat rat beurocrat system, and they are being way over priced for the same products that we are practically giving away as far as their standards go. In this light the question has now evolved to "should Americans be allowed to unlock the locked and open the closed for personal gain?"

The most sincseable answer would be no, but I'm sure that there are Americans that just see this as a paranoid approach basing everything on fears. I can only respond and say that these things would have never been put up with such care and persistence, if there were nothing to fear. This is the day in age when Americans are going to have to close their ears to all these outside influences, and just get back to the American grass roots of doing things. We have not only proved it to ourselves, but apparently to the rest of the world that our pharmaceutical institution, is an institution that if attacked, will be a great blow to the well being of our great Country.
