State-based drug importation seems to be off to a bit of a rocky start. We'll see if any of the other states pursuing it have better luck.

Florida Fails to Attract Bidders for Canada Drug Importation Program
Florida’s plan to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada — designed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and endorsed by President Donald Trump — has tasted its first bitter pill.
No private firms bid on Florida’s $30 million contract to set up and operate a drug importation program. Bids were due at the end of September.
The setback is likely to delay by at least several months Florida’s effort to become the first state to import drugs.
