'CCO giving pharmacy some love

Here's the link to the WCCO discussion about decreasing med costs. They mention the $4 generics and prescription assistance plans, but they also throw a shout out to MTM. If only threw out the phrase "The most expensive drug is the one taken incorrectly" they might have helped us out. Oh, and here's the link to the blog discussed as well. Hopefully patients are willing to pay for the money saved....

Why are Obama's cabinets so important?

I mean, really. When my parent's got new cabinets, no one cares. When I do, again: No media attention. But all of a sudden, you're elected Pres-elect, and everyone cares about your kitchen...wait, what? Oh...boy, is my face red.

So, this is kind of huge. Well, maybe not huge, but it's going to have an effect on pharmacy. How? Well, I don't know. Sorry. But, Daschle's reportedly been angling for this for awhile. He supported the failed Hilary Health Care plan from the 90's (first years may not remember that, so here's some info on it) and is up for health care changes. Include the fact that meds take a huge chunk of overall health care (according to this vid) and you can expect some changes to occur in...oh...say...the next four to eight years.

Why tell the real news when the fake news is so much funnier

I go to Comedy Central for news television, and I'm ok with that. I mean-who wouldn't?




Now, that's just plain good stuff. Plus, he hit the news right on the head. Let's run through the highlights.



I'll try and run through the topics he discusses in later posts, but I'll let you enjoy the video for right now.

Cuz I want you back for good...

So, no one read this before, and likely no one will read this now. But you know what, I had a lot of fun writing it last year. So guess what, the blog is back! (Dramatic interlude for cheers and adulation. Shout out to Barack for showing me how to be humbly be showered with praise.)

Why is the blog back? Because there is just too much happening out in the world of pharmacy and health care to not at least make some kind of commentary on it. Sure, you could go to news sites and read the actual journals, but what fun would that be? Here you get few if any pictures, poor wit and sarcasm, and really no value added to the links I post. But hey, if you visit, it makes me feel good. Enjoy the updates.
