I can believe that doctors would remember having been egalitarian more often than they actually were. I can also believe that patients who are in the doctors' offices are more likely to receive their free medications than those who have limited exposure to medical professionals.

I know how my doctors use them. They give you a couple of weeks worth to see how you tolerate them. If the pills work, then they write a prescription. If not, they pull something different out of their stash. I also get samples sometimes because I use a mail order pharmacy so the sample keeps me until the prescription arrives.

It never occurred to me that there might be another purpose--to support those who couldn't afford the pills. They work so well the way my doctors and I use them that it seems they must have been designed for that purpose.
