their health care, we will not seriously address health care costs.
Capitalistic principles cannot work with 3rd party payers. When I care for needy patients in the hospital, I ofen discuss
discharge medications. Often the patients begin to smile when I start
discussing how we can use "Wal-Mart" drugs, saving them money for their
prescriptions. Patients with prescription drug coverage have little
interest in generic drugs; patients who pay with their own money are
eager to save money for other necessities."
