Illinois and Wisconsin have launched the first state-sponsored program to help residents buy cheaper prescription drugs from both Europe and Canada according to wire service reports.
Federal laws ban the importing of prescription drugs.
The Food and Drug Administration had no immediate comment.
The program, I-SaveRx, works through a Canada-based clearinghouse and claims it can save residents 25% to 50% off U.S. retail prices on about 100 prescription medications.
