THE PILL INDUSTRY

Is there money in the life of a pharmacist? If the pharmacist is a mere go-between to ensure customers get their medicines and the cost of pills are so high that he or she (pharmacist or pharmacy) are not making any money distributing and they are distributing these medicines at near cost to themselves anyway …..who is our hero?

Our hero is them because they do not make money off certain prescriptions and the co-pays that the customers is obligated to pay is sometimes the only money that they make. One day I was trying to have my co-pays waived and because it gets so expensive sometimes I can’t afford all my medicines and I learned this about their plight.

I have to say that this makes me feel empathetic and this more or less took the wind out of my sails and I gave up my plea to be excused for trying to get out of the co-pays and I decided to do the best I can. Further, I understand we are in a recession as well as a depression era but we still have to do our part and keep the economy moving and keep our people employed by buying and shopping. I’m doing my part and you do yours and help the nation stay strong.

My thoughts on this subject,
