This exact argument has seemingly done absolutely nothing to sway politicians here. Because they do not have any shame whatsoever.
Imagine a charter bus that takes a full load of people once per month from the US to Canada from regionally close cities (e.g. Chicago, Cleveland, Seattle, and New York) for insulin and other critical but expensive prescription drugs. The bus takes them to a pharmacy, everyone unloads and picks up their prescriptions, then loads back into the bus. Everything is called in, pre-arranged with the pharmacy for a streamlined operation.
It's a really stupid situation and possible solution that shouldn't be viable. Unfortunately, it probably could be done.
