From ABC News:
Patient Appeals Judge for Canadian Drugs
A heart transplant patient told a federal judge Thursday that he saves nearly $9,000 a year on medication through a company the government says is breaking the law by importing drugs from Canada.

Jerry Cox told U.S. District Judge Claire Eagan that he would suffer serious economic harm if she shuts down 85 storefronts that operate under the names Rx Depot and Rx of Canada.

Local Store Brings Discount Canadian Drugs To U.S.
A new Tigard business is bringing Canadian prescription drugs to the United States.

For a $13 shipping fee and the cost of the pills, medications can be sent directly from a Vancouver, British Columbia, pharmacy to your home.


From WTOL (OH):
Drug Savings vs. Drug Safety
Shutting down a firm that links seniors with low-cost medication from Canada would create a "domino effect," leaving Americans nationwide without access to drugs they can afford, the company's lawyer told a federal judge during a hearing Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Claire Eagan will decide whether to issue a nationwide injunction against a Tulsa-based chain of 85 storefronts that operate under the names Rx Depot and Rx of Canada.
