Let’s talk about patients’ rights. Any person on any kind of perscription
program should be notified first – not the physician, not the pharmacist, but
the patient – if that program will no longer pay for the patient’s regular
perscription at the current rate but will pay for a substitute at the current
rate. In which case, the patient will have to pay the difference in cost for
the regular brand.
   
After all, it is the patient who is paying the cost.
