Greetings from the New CPPI Executive Director!

I’m Ken Hunter, the new Executive Director of the Campaign for Personal Prescription Importation (CPPI). I’m extremely happy to now be guiding the very active drive to protect Americans’ right to purchase less expensive, life-enhancing prescription medications from licensed, 100% safe Canadian pharmacies.

The high cost of daily maintenance drugs grows every year in the U.S., and it seems there’s no end in sight. I know this affects millions of people personally. It might be you, a loved one, or friend facing the scary decision of going without necessary pharmaceuticals because the cost to buy them here in the U.S. is just too high.

I first came up against this challenge several years ago when a doctor prescribed an expensive, brand-name medicine for one of my daughters, and it was “barely” covered by our health plan. Her doctor was able to give us several free samples but advised us to argue it out with our insurance company. Many of you know that situation and how it can be fruitless.

We did significant research to see if we could find the drug online. Throughout the U.S., it was very similarly (high) priced across both retail and online pharmacies. Then, a friend who was a pharmaceutical representative told me about looking at Canada as a way to get prescriptions at a significant discount. He asked some of his doctor “clients” for recommendations of Canadian pharmacies, and then we were off to the races – and quite relieved at the price savings.

Trust me when I say your physicians also know of your struggles! Luckily, there are easier, more formal ways today to get your prescriptions at a discount – saving people in the U.S. hundreds of dollars per month. You can see a link of licensed, online Canadian pharmacies here on the CPPI website.

It’s a continual battle to preserve the rights of U.S. residents to buy less expensive prescriptions from Canada. We continue to do that for you at CPPI, and I look forward to enlisting your help to maintain this crucial right!
