Wow. These guys must be really desperate for drug-company cash, given that lifting the reimportation ban on drugs from Canada is wildly popular with the people they're supposed to represent. (Polls in the 60s, 70s, or higher, I believe. Republican free trade? Not for us "little people.")
The Senate voted 68-32 today to lift the ban. The AP says it will probably come out of the bill in conference with the House, but without this step, the end-the-ban provision wouldn't even have a chance. The full roll call is here. (Lieberman voted with the Democrats. Maybe he wasn't paying attention.)
ADDED: I forgot - Santorum and friends are probably looking ahead to make sure they have jobs next year -- as
lobbyists -- after they lose!
