Approaches to a Nationwide Prescription Drug Plan
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page discussion of the economic feasibility of a nationwide prescription drug plan. Explores this issue from the perspective that such a program could wield leverage in controlling what currently are widely fluctuating drug prices. Uses the example of one brand name drug and major drug manufacturer to illustrate that indeed there is a tremendous variation in drug prices across distribution channels and regions but also a tremendous profit for the drug companies. Emphasizes that while the drug companies are enjoying such profit many of our elderly, because of limited finances, are literally having to make the choice of medicine or food. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
