To take the pill or not to take the pill

I found another interesting article in the online searching about things related to pharmacy.  I happened to come across this particular article......

http://www.remember.org/educate/medexp.html

This article talked about a lady was diagnosed with breast and kidney cancer that recently lost her job and her insurance was cut.  She said she had to pay over $700 a month on those medications alone.  Lucky she had the cash for those medications,  and she actually beat her cancers with the medication adherence and surgeries to remove her breasts and one of her kidneys.  But unlike her, many Americans are facing hard times and the escalating drug prices.  Doctors today when prescribing most of the times do not think about the prices for the drugs.  A lot of the time they prescribe medications that do not have generics....  Leading to high prices $$$.   With limited cash flow many Americans are faced with adherence problems and thus make our jobs harder daily.  Please read and comment on our thoughts about the article or the topic itself.
