"Four years ago, on the frozen prairies of Manitoba, two young pharmacists, working independently, founded a billion-dollar industry. In the process they created a quandary for global health-care policy, a hot-button issue for this year's [2004] U.S. presidential race, and a potential diplomatic crisis for Canada and the U.S." (FORTUNE) This article studies the humble beginnings of selling prescriptions from Canada to U.S. citizen for a fraction of the cost and discusses the impact this business has had on the relationship between these two countries.
