WASHINGTON - Seniors who switch between low-cost generic drugs and the original products based on who’s footing the bill are likely driving up the cost of the government’s Medicare drug plan, according to a new study.

Funny how generic is ok when its your own money, but if someone else is paying, who cares. Universal health care would be a great idea. Just think of all the money we could spend.

This is the problem with third-party payers, and it would especially be the problem with a single third-party payer.

unintended consequences when the gubmint gets involved, whether its healthcare, retirement, housing, war on poverty.....and on and on............

I'm shocked that a government sponsored program is inefficient and ends up costing citizens more money in the long run. I personally would love it if the government told me when to get up in the morning and go to work....










...Because you'd never get there before noon!
