     I hereby open the floor for debate on this bill.

Another drug policy reform bill, yay.

I think this is pretty self-explanatory.  As part of a long-term goal for reducing medical costs in Atlasia, this bill opens a market with Canada so that patients may buy drugs from across the northern border, which shall give drug wholesalers and pharmacists here the incentive to lower their prices.

Those who've been paying attention know that this is has been a goal for health care policy reformers in the RL United States for a long time, but efforts to open those markets are frequently shot down by corporate interests.

Another fantastic piece of legislation to help combat rising prescription drug costs and price gouges. Fully support this.

[Classic Conservative]

This is a wonderful bill, and I hope it receives bipartisan support!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I like this bill too. I also encourage more of my fellow Senators to comment on it.

[Anna Komnene]

This sounds like a great idea to me, not just to lower prices but potentially gain access to a more diverse array of drug options.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     If there are no more comments I will bring this to a final vote in 24 hours.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     A final vote is now open on this bill. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.
