Minn. Health System Purges Drug Trinkets

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080119/drug_trinket_roundup.html

Drug companies are just trying to make new products and sell them. PHARMA guidelines were established which failed misearbly. Any third party interference will fail and not help the consumer. Let the FREE MARKETS rule. Lets get rid of patents and generics. Let the drug companies convince the patients that these medicines are worth $ 100 a month or whatever . they offer patients rebate of their co-pays and convince the doctors that they are Preferred or in Insurance Formulary. Let a Doctor spend time with a patient and convince him that spending Hundreds of dollars a month is good for health and see if they can generate enough business. Peddling Doctors office and misleading the consumer with superfluous ads with is very similar to Crony Capitalism. Govt, FDA and PHARMA regualtions are increasing cost of health care and not getting much benefit to the patients.
