Illinois and Wisconsin Launch Pioneer Prescription Drug Importation Program
10/12/2004

On October 4, 2004, the Governors of Illinois and Wisconsin announced the launch of a prescription drug importation program which is the first in the nation to allow residents to purchase lower-cost prescription drugs from Europe and Canada. Although a number of states have provided web sites linking users directly to mail-order pharmacies in Canada, the I-SaveRx program is the first program to offer network pharmacies in Europe as well.
