Subject: Advocating Prescription Drug Purchases from Canada — A Solution to Affordable Healthcare in New Hampshire [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Legislator's Full Name] [Legislator's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Legislator's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss a matter of great concern in our state of New Hampshire — the exorbitant prices of prescription drugs. As a constituent and an advocate for affordable healthcare, I urge you to support initiatives that allow for the safe importation of prescription drugs from Canada. New Hampshire, known for its beautiful landscapes, tight-knit communities, and strong work ethic, is a state where hard work and dedication determine success. However, for many residents, accessing affordable prescription medications has become a daunting challenge. Skyrocketing prescription drug prices not only burden individuals but also place a significant strain on our already fragile healthcare system. The cost of prescription drugs in the United States has continued to rise at an alarming rate, leaving many individuals unable to afford the medications they need to treat chronic conditions or even to maintain their overall well-being. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, an estimated 29% of adults in New Hampshire reported not taking their prescribed medications as directed due to cost concerns. With this in mind, it is imperative that we explore alternative solutions that can ensure access to affordable prescription drugs without compromising safety and efficacy. One such solution is allowing individuals to purchase medications from Canada, where prices are significantly lower due to government regulations on drug pricing. Canada's robust pharmaceutical regulations and strong safety standards make it a reliable source for affordable and safe medications. Countless Americans, including residents of New Hampshire, have already benefited from personal importation. The savings can be substantial, often reaching up to 80% when compared to the prices of identical drugs sold within our borders. However, it is important to emphasize that importing prescription drugs for personal use from Canada should be regulated to ensure safety and prevent counterfeit products from entering the market. Collaboration between federal, state, and Canadian authorities is crucial to monitor the supply chain, guaranteeing the quality, potency, and integrity of the medications imported. Other states, such as Vermont, Colorado, and Maine, have already taken steps to create programs that allow residents to import prescription medications from Canada with accompanying safety regulations. I implore you, as a legislator dedicated to enhancing the well-being of New Hampshire residents, to champion similar efforts to tackle the issue of soaring prescription drug costs. By supporting legislation that permits prescription drug imports from Canada, you will be demonstrating your commitment to the health and financial well-being of your constituents. This approach not only has the potential to provide relief to countless New Hampshire residents struggling to afford vital medications but also enables our state to take a progressive step towards transforming our healthcare system into one that values accessibility, affordability, and patient-centric care. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I trust that you will consider the positive impact such legislation can have on the lives of countless New Hampshire residents. I kindly request your support and urge you to champion initiatives that promote safe prescription drug importation from Canada. Sincerely, [Your Name]
