Kansas residents will be able to buy lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada and Europe under a new program from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, according to wire service reports.
Kansas becomes the fourth state to join a coalition to make lower-cost drugs available from a Canadian company. Other states on or near the Canadian border, and some cities, have made similar arrangements on their own.
Illinois developed the purchasing program, launched in October, and was soon joined by Missouri and Wisconsin.
Under the new program, Kansans would order their drugs over the Internet or via a toll-free telephone number. The program is available to anyone regardless of income.
