Free Medicine for Low Income Uninsured
Haven't seen much news about this yet, but I could hardly believe what I was hearing. Pfizer is going to start giving away it's drugs to anyone who is uninsured and has an income of less than $19,000, or $31,000 for a family. And if a family makes less than $45,000 they can get large discounts. This is a big change in policy, not sure if it's for the good or bad though.
I am happy that people that need this medicine, but couldn't afford it will now have access, but at the same time, someone will have to pay for this, so the insurance companies will get hit with the bill. And in the end, that means higher rates. I can't say I would enjoy paying more for insurance, but I guess if it helps someone else, maybe it's not so bad.
I wonder if other companies will follow?
