Under Harvard’s student health plan, up to 30 days of a generic-brand medicine cost a co-payment of $10; “preferred brand name” medicines, $20; and “non-preferred brand name” medicines, $35. Even if the cost of a particular medication fluctuates, it remains within the same co-payment tier...
...despite falling stocks, investors continue to have hope in the industry, refusing to acknowledge all signs to the contrary.While Wall Street may not have realized it, it’s perfectly obvious why satellite radio is not making money: no one wants to pay for radio, especially radio with generic programming.

Thirteen other patients received paroxetine (the generic form of the antidepressant Paxil). All experienced comparable improvement after treatment. Then the scientists scanned the patients' brains. "Our hypothesis was, if you do well with treatment, your brain will have changed in the same way no matter which treatment you received," said Toronto's Zindel Segal...
