From the article:

At a public hearing before the Public Health Committee in the state capitol Friday, people on all sides debated whether the state should buy drugs from Canada... to lower the cost of prescription medication.

Senator Christopher Murphy... is the chairman of the committee. He introduced bill 1236, which would pave the way for the state to begin the importation and reimportation of drugs from Canada...

Sandra Micalizzi, secretary of the Senior Citizen Committee, was a geriatric nurse for nearly 30 years. She told the committee that there is a clear need for such a bill, given the current state of health coverage.
