I agree with all the three points you have stated. I am sure that you are aware of the dual pricing policy of US drug companies. The same Pfizer drug is available for 1/10 the cost in India as it is available here. And I wonder why and what can the Govt. do about it. IF Pfizer considers "affordability" as a pricing factor for India than that needs to be the case with the US also.

AAPS reports that thousands of physicians have opted out of Medicare. It is a serious decision that each one of them must make because they are discontinuing providing care to some patients. It is understandable why they may choose to do so and is a problem that must be addressed. I am not aware of any doctors loving Medicare but naturally only a small group of them and comments made by my daughter. I would imagine that there are Drs with small practices that want lower paying patients that will help fill their hours so, there will be two opinions regarding this issue.
