Charles Pace Quotations

I've been a pharmacist for 40 years now, and Monday morning I didn't want to come to work because I knew what would await me. Basically, we've got a travesty on our hands.

People end up having to pay cash. Last month Medicaid was covering them at $3 a prescription; this month it's not going through and instead of $3 they're paying $300. Maybe it will all shake out in a couple of months, but what are these poor people going to do in the meantime?

I've got a college education and I've seen some of this stuff and I don't get it. I can imagine an elderly woman trying to figure it out. Companies will cover some medicines and not others - what a zoo - they should all cover all the medicines.

I just hope this thing can shake out alright. I feel sorry for these elderly people - they are caught between insurance companies and government agencies, and that is not a good place to be.
