Some ideas to cut healthcare costs: reimportation of Rx drugs from Canada, allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices with the pharmaceutical companies, notice the presence of banks in major big box stores...how about low cost health care clinics staffed by nurse practitioners. This would reduce emergency room visits! Require pharmacies to post their Rx drug prices online to facilitate cost comparisons by the consumer. I recently made 4 calls to 4 different pharmacies to compare drug prices for the same Rx drug. BiMart came in $100.00 cheaper than RiteAide for the very same drug. Walmart and Walgreens came in 2nd and 3rd. Unbelievable!  This is just a short list of proposals. Will we, as patients, ever see these changes...it's difficult to compete with the healthcare lobbyists. But I do know this, the politicians want all of us to remain divided. If they continue to succeed in dividing us, the politicians continue to line their pockets. If we unite, we win!
