Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spent years complaining that the Biden administration was slow-walking federal approval of his plan to import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada .

But nearly a year since the FDA green-lit the state’s importation strategy, Florida has no planned date to begin bringing drugs over the border.

Drug companies say importation would increase the risk of counterfeit drugs appearing on U.S. pharmacy shelves.
