CHEAPER MEDICINES FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE

CHEAPER MEDICINES FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE I do not know what other writers have to say, but I think that cheaper medicines have a direct correlation to universal healthcare. What I mean to say actually is that not unless medicines will become cheaper, universal healthcare will never happen. At the risk of stating the obvious, without medicines, there could hardly be a cure, not unless we count diet and exercise. In reality, cheaper medicines are already available, but in the form of generic or unbranded options. Ironically, most of these generic or unbranded options would have the same or mostly the same ingredients as the branded options, except that the latter are better known or are better trusted, so to speak. It is but normal that since people are afraid of getting sick or not getting well, they are willing to spend more, even if much more. In theory, people would be buying more of the generic or unbranded options if only they could learn to trust these products more, but that is still a long way to go perhaps. One factor is that many doctors would not want to risk their reputations by recommending the generic or unbranded options, and that is also understandable. thankfully, there are "generic" medicines that are already "branded", such as TGP, RiteMed and Rhea. Other than buying the "branded generics" that are still relatively pricey, there are still other ways of lowering the costs of branded medicines, such as bulk buying by coops for their own members, shifting to refillable plastic containers. Another idea is to stop using aluminum and plastic as packaging, because these two materials are not only expensive, they are also non-biodegradable as such, they o much damage to the health of planet earth. In fact they cause pollution that can cause sickness. IKE SENERES/08-12-2023
