Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suing Biden admin over Canadian drug importation program application delay

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday sued the Biden administration over alleged delays to attempts by his state to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, saying he hopes Floridians aren't being punished over political differences. 

Speaking from Lakeland, near Tampa, the Republican governor spoke about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's review of an application to get medications to treat a number of ailments as part of the Canadian drug importation program. 

"I’d hate to think that the Biden admin would not approve it just because it’s Florida, because they have issues with Florida politically … because this will benefit people … regardless of political persuasion," he said.
