#102. originally aired Sunday, January 14, 2007
 Play It
In a program first aired in the winter of 2003, the crisis over the cost of prescription drugs, particularly for people on fixed incomes, was rocketing out of control. Since then, the Medicaid and Medicare prescription drug programs have been initiated by Congress and the White House. But for a while, the department of Homeland Security was seizing drugs sent from Canada through the mail, and threatening to confiscate orders filled in Canada by seniors crossing the border. After a public outcry however, they have since relented.
