It would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to set up a legal, safe program to import drugs from Canada, the Food and Drug Administration's head pharmacist said Tuesday.

Two cities - Springfield, Mass., and Montgomery, Ala. - are the only governments buying drugs from Canada so far. But states from New Hampshire to Wisconsin are studying the issue or are ready to start their own programs.

How convenient. And those Canadians are dropping like flies. Aren't they?

Here's an idea: Why not let us order Canadian drugs over the Internet, to be shipped to us by mail? That wouldn't cost hundreds of millions, right?

Gosh, I thought competition was good. And all that.
