Sen. Dorgan on C-Span 2 right now demanding action on the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S.
He and Stabenow are offering bi-partisan legislation w/ McCain & Grassley on re-importation of prescription drugs from places like Canada & Europe. He says the current situation in which Americans are paying up to quadruple the price elsewhere was "a stew I had no part in making".

Including several republicans. Snowe, Collins, McCain, Grassley, Thune.

It might pass. Hopefully.
