You are correct. All your statements are. It's the drug companies and their high costs that is the reason for patient assistant programs. When was taking one med at one time forget which one I was urged to see if qualified. Didn't as have a home. You used to have to literally have nothing you owned to receive this benefit. I was told by my pharmacist the other day that abilify is $600 a month. If a national healthcare system no namebrands, drug manufacturers would be forced out of business. So generics only. From what I've read many countries there are not a lot of options of the meds they can have prescribed. At this time I don't think the Obama health care is involved it this. It will evolve out of it.
