[QUOTE="bhsmte, post: 68932768, member: 329816"] I agree the ability to negotiate better pricing is a big piece of this. With that said, I would frown on any attempt, to remove the benefits of drug companies being motivated to perform the expensive R&D, to produce new drugs, that could have a dramatic impact on controlling disease. Lastly, in the United States, about 50% of doctor prescribed medicines, are either not filled by the patient, or they are not taken as prescribed if filled. This is a huge issue and has been for a while. [/QUOTE]
