re: #507 PT Barnum

Often, however, the doctor will give you samples first of whatever they have on hand without considering that a low priced generic may be just as effective.

Then when you need a refill, they default to keeping you on the higher priced drug, because “it’s already working”

I am not accusing Obdicut of this, but i have lost track of how often the same person will complain that
1. Evil pharmaceutical companies entice too many doctors into prescribing unnecessarily expensive pharmaceuticals
and
2. Evil insurance companies make doctors prescribe cheap drugs that aren’t nearly as effective as the more expensive alternative.

Can’t have it both ways, komrades…
