So often, we blame the drug companies for the high
cost of drugs, and usually rightfully so. But
in this case, the fault clearly lies with the pharmacies themselves. For example, if you had to buy a prescription drug, and bought the name brand, you might pay $100 for 100 pills.
The pharmacist might tell you that if you get the generic equivalent, they would only cost $80, making you think you are 'saving' $20.
