Discount on prescribed drugs
An opinion by John Aspinall at http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090807-219076/Discount-on-prescribed-drugs.
Now lets see..... Discounting some or discount of all medicinal drugs, very beneficial but why not make it obligatory in nature. We all know that discounts are based on supply and demand but in the Philippine's case it's supply and how high the market can bear. Discounts are come-ons, very good in attracting new patronage, getting a good share of the market at a short span of time. But in the long run we all have to bear the brute force of economics.
We have to look at the bigger picture as one government official said. I say we must look at the biggest picture and not just a bigger picture of how will this government retain the support of big multinational pharmaceutical companies. The biggest picture is the well being of the Filipinos. Lets just push for the ANTI-TRUST Law, in this way the government has a rule of law to implement and not just leave our grievances to humanitarians. We will be striking at the heart of the issue.
