DeSantis is a pharma poison peddling hypocrite, and his actions and words prove he is a shill and condemn him as one. People need to start researching natural medicine and I hope Jesus will hold DeSantis and his pharma cohorts accountable for the people he lies to about that pharma crap.

insert "blame canada" joke here

Let's not forget Republicans only want made in USA products.also imported drugs is not the problem. insurance companies are the problem.Canada's Healthcare system makes ours look like a joke.

Thank you, Governor DeSantis! ❤️????????

My niece bought eye drops from Canada for $87, here they were over $1K.

DeSantis is extreme Republican who lies and spread propaganda.
He is against all abortion including rape, medical urgency, gay & interracial marriage, FBI law enforcements, climate policy, GLBTQ, teachers, etc

I think it’s funny he doesn’t figure out how to manufacture them here in the USA at a reasonable price when he loves capitalism yet is wanting to import cheaper from neighboring country. Socialist!!!! Lol.
Andreas Dengler
Canada uses a lot of generics.
B Lincoln
I guess I will be following my friends to Florida if meds from Canada comes through.
Most of our drugs come from China I was told. Is this right?
darkstalkerknight63

Regina Nash

GLENG g

galewinds
Good idea ????, biden imports from Mexico and China, by the ton.
Karen P
The corrupt PM will want huge cut just like the big guy Joe.
Serge Boudreault
It is a well known fact in Canada that if the United States try to import drugs from Canada this way, the Government will pass a Law to stop it in order to protect Canadians' access to our medication's supply.
Is Desantis saying that "Socialist-Communist-Marxist Canada" is better than the US???
Suck it, DeSantis!
Forest LawrenceGrading
And they call us fascist if we support him the man is smart he knows what drives Florida and how to keep it moving
Juliet lynn????
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "Making money is an action, keeping money is a behavior, Growing money is a knowledge". I once attended a seminar and ever since then I've been waxing strong financially , I most tell you the truth ????

What a commie. This clown wants to destroy American Capitalism.

It not about safety. People aren’t dying of poisoned drugs in canda. It’s about playing politics. It couldn’t be more obvious

If Biden is trying to parlay China, then we may have to for prescriptions and vaccines. We can't become dependent on one country.

Hook, line and sinker for authoritarianism

why is that person scooping pills without gloves on? actually why the hell are people so stup!d to believe natural therapies don't work? herbs…mantra…breathing methods…meditation..people create their own ill health by believing lies
Charles Benneu
We need to make our own and get Medicaid for all
Douglas Simpson
LMAO… Governor for 3 years and 8 months and NOW he decides 8 weeks before the election that buying drugs from Canada is a great idea? When your parties priorities are so unpopular that you pull a complete 180 before the election. The sheep of Florida are getting played. Bahhhhhh bahhhhh
Jaymo
Canada has cheaper drugs as a result of universal healthcare. Is there not a single conservative here that is going to call DeSantis a socialist?
Maxine Sue
What DeSantis "wants" is nostop coverage of his fat face and authoritarian policies. You're FREE as long as you agree with him. Otherwise, here comes the bully and you're in for a world of hurt.
Big Rig
our next POTUS
Donald Kasper
FDA only needs another 1500 years to get drugs that are 75% cheaper, reimported to the US.
Ernest Chacon
President Biden has been in office for just under 2 years, why didn't puffy face DeSantis speak about this earlier like in the past 6 years or so…, WTF ???
brickbatz
DeSantis doesn't sit on his rear and do nothing. He's always doing something to help Floridians.
G Money
What a hypocrite! Blaming Biden for high drug prices while his nose is buried deep in big pharma. You best do what he says though. That's how you keep Florida free, by being forced to do what he says or else. That's not freedom, that's fascism!
mark blue
I guess if canadas taxpayers are gonna let you piggyback off their universal HealthCare, then go for it. It will probably raise the price of drugs in canada.
RozzyF680
wouldn't it be easier to just cap costs like say… maybe Canada
Daniel Miller
If the communist up there will do it. Do it
LJV
Playing politics. Isn't that what politicians do? How about get Republicans together and reign in on Big Pharma's price gouging?
mark blue
its funny, why does canada have cheaper drugs? Because they have universal healthcare. The government negotiates prices. So desantis wants to take advantage of Canada's universal healthcare. Wonder what canada thinks about that? Also the added cost of repackaging, and other US regulations will make the drugs close to the same price. I got an idea, lets have universal healthcare in the US to bring down the price of drugs.
Jeff S
Our medical mafia won't allow it.
Melissa Bodily
But Americans subsidized for those prices, that are set in Canada.
A.M.
way to go DeSantas

It’s ironic how we want to stop importing cheap products from China in order to bring jobs back to the US and we are willing to pay higher prices for it. And now here we are doing the same thing except in Canada. Smh
Dimples
GOP VOTED NO ON THE BILL TO LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. VOTE HIM OUT, SUCH BS HE IS TALKING SMACK TO DIVIDE. BAD NEWS CHANNEL NOT INVESTIGATION ONLY KISSING GOP MONEY. SAD THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL JOURNALISM. ALL WHILE DESANTIS DOES EVERYTHING NOT TO PROTECT WORKERS AND LETS COMPANIES PAY A NON LIVABLE WAGE. SENIORS SITTING ON THEIR SUITCASES WITH WALKERS ALONG THE HIGHWAY. HE COULD CARE LESS. SMH.
Jessica Printke
I told you 2 and a 1/2 years ago. I know everybody laughed. But you're going to see why if you don't It will cost you everything.
Jessica Printke
It's a good idea But they are not gonna let you do it. I told you. You have to become your own country. You have to. If you don't. Then you will be lost
