       (1) The cost of prescription drugs for Americans continues 
     to rise at an alarming rate.
       (2) Millions of Americans, including medicare beneficiaries 
     on fixed incomes, face a daily choice between purchasing 
     life-sustaining prescription drugs, or paying for other 
     necessities, such as food and housing.
       (3) Many life-saving prescription drugs are available in 
     countries other than the United States at substantially lower 
     prices, even though such drugs were developed and are 
     approved for use by patients in the United States.
       (4) Many Americans travel to other countries to purchase 
     prescription drugs because the medicines that they need are 
     unaffordable in the United States.
       (5) Americans should be able to purchase medicines at 
     prices that are comparable to prices for such medicines in 
     other countries, but efforts to enable such purchases should 
     not endanger the gold standard for safety and effectiveness 
     that has been established and maintained in the United 
     States.
