you may know, many Americans now buy prescription drugs
from
Canada, even though the practice is illegal, because
the
drugs are cheaper than in the United States. Do you

Congress and the president should - or should not -
make
it legal for Americans to buy prescription drugs from
Canada
and other countries outside of the U.S. (United

CAPWINS
Medical
malpractice insurance has become so expensive that
some
doctors can no longer afford it. One way to lower the
cost
of doctors' insurance is to restrict the amount of
money
awarded patients when they win a malpractice suit in
court.
Would you favor such restrictions, or not?

Yes, favor restricting the size of patient awards

No, do not favor restricting the size of patient awards
