The Great Pharmacuetical Rip-Off

Yes it is,but true.
Persons with a co-pay arrangement seldom take the time to compare UNTIL they have a non-covered expense,or randomly take the scrip to an alternative retailer and find themselves wised up.
They assume there's little difference between vendors.
Otherwise the Insurer will absorb much of the cost and recover by charging outrageous Premiums. Could there be an unholy collusion between Insurers and Manufactures (and even Health Care)?
The Elderly and Disabled desperately need an Advocate just to buy groceries.They cannot afford to assume anything about the Pharmacuetical industry.
My data was collected today and is reliable. Anyone could replicate it where they live.

The Great Pharmacuetical Rip-Off

The general public DOES NOT KNOW of the disparity in pricing drugs from the chain store to the independent operator.

Think of someone's poor old gray-haired Momma,fresh out of the hospital with a scrip in her pocketbook and no way/time to shop and compare.

That is out-of-pocket,period.

The Great Pharmacuetical Rip-Off

Here's the straight "Dope" (play on words intentional)

Today I compared the cost of Sumatriptan 100mg/9pills,all in Erwin Tn.

Walgreens - $194.99
CVS--$159.99
Walmart--$88.78
Roller Drugs--$27.50
Clinchfield Drugs--$22.50

I believe the numbers alone are sufficient to explain my outrage.

Government should NOT be able to control the Value Of Money....

I submit that the FED is--in FACT if not in theory-- an organ of government....
Some would say,converely,that the Washington Government is merely an agent of the FED...,
Either way they operate In League and In Secret

Government should NOT be able to control the Value Of Money....

RE: So...What do you believe in then?

The Truth is the extent of your Confidence in your own hypothesis(es).
Some presume to "know" by belief/faith,i.e.thru no discernable method.
Others prefer to be Overwhelmed by Empirical Evidence,i.e. sense data.
This is where the Existential Movement came from.
It feels good,but accomplishes nothing at all.
Like Psychotherapy.
Or Drug Addiction.
Possibly like Sport Fishing...
....and Romantic Love.....if you really want to get Cynical about the whole thing.....

The Danger is that the more you Know,the less your capacity to further your Knowing...
Does that make sense...
