I think Illinois should go for the plan.
Its the free market at work. (Well in Canada's case, its the free-ride market at work...
If enough states do this then the drug companies will eventually be forced to sell ther drugs at one low price OR they'll be forced to eliminate drug availability in those markets that have overly strict price caps controls.
In the long run it could be a win/win senario:
Drug companies will no longer be able to overcharge Americans so that they can undercharge Canadians... And Canada's self-inflicted price caps will lead to shortages in Canada...
Of course the drug companies will probably lose revenue, many people will be put out of work, and less money will be spent on research and development of new drugs: but that's none of Illinois concern.
