What will be an ideal response?


Answer: If the United States were to permit importation of lower cost pharmaceuticals from abroad then it can apply to all the foreign countries provided that the pharmaceuticals from these countries pass the standard guidelines issued by the United States for these pharmaceuticals. Country does not matter in this case, however, the quality of the product does matter. Thus, strict regulation by the government is needed to keep a check that only products that pass the guidelines will be imported in the United States.
