birdwatcherBlagojevich announced the import pharmacy, I-SaveRX, now will be offered to state employees and their dependents. I-SaveRX lets patients buy low-cost prescription drugs from Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. State employees who use I-SaveRX will pay smaller co-pays.
Blagojevich launched I-SaveRX in October 2004 to great fanfare. Consumers could save up to 50 percent by importing prescriptions from foreign pharmacies approved by the state, he said. But the auditor's report said importing prescription drugs "is in violation of federal law."
The Food and Drug Administration has yet to crack down on Illinois.
