Here's my only concern:

If you look at Vytorin, it's not any more expensive than Zetia or Zocor. I think it may be a few bucks cheaper than either one.

If Pfizer was going to charge the same amont as Lipitor for the combo pill, the statin portion would basically be free.

Now, insurnace companies will have to buy both.

*** I'm assuming the combo pill wouldn't have cost any more than Lipitor is now.
