What is the significance of $166.50? It's the monthly cost of the least expensive of the prescription meds advertised on TV lately. What really steams me is that virtually all of them can be replaced by an older drug available for $4 a month at Walmart. Let's hear it for marketing. I wonder how patients feel when they find out they are spending 41 times as much as they need to.
Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.” Email: jackfriday2011(at)hotmail.co.uk
