False. Government prohibits importation of most medicines from abroad. It's corruption hidden in the form of "please just think of the children."

"FDA cannot assure the safety and efficacy of unapproved drugs" is the main excuse used in drug importation court cases.

But it wouldn't take an act of Congress to change that. Your link says it's up to the FDA, which could easily choose to allow importation to combat the pandemic.
