Canada already supplies the US with hockey stars and imaginary girlfriends, and it might soon add its famously cheaper prescription drugs to the list. Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Florida's request to import bargain meds from the country.

It's the first state to get permission from the agency to bring in meds from Canada under a law Congress passed 20 years ago to help Americans pay less for drugs. Florida officials say ordering cheaper drugs for conditions like HIV and diabetes from Canadian wholesalers will save Medicaid and other state programs $150 million over the first year.
