In Pennsylvania, the state calculated that among just one subgroup of patients - seniors in a prescription-relief program - the state saves $572,000 a year on acid-reflux drug costs alone, simply by reminding doctors that pricey Nexium, the "purple pill," often has cheaper, equally effective generic alternatives. It's a model that may soon go nationwide. On July 31, the Independent Drug Education and Outreach Act of 2008 was introduced in both houses of Congress. If it passes, it could fund...
