An Unexpected Cost of Using Free Drug Samples

Most prescription forms have a checkbox that can be marked if the brand name is considered medically necessary by the physician. Otherwise, what would prevent the patient from using the same prescription to pick up the generic drug?

Very Recently, there has been a good deal of investigation by the
US Federal trade comission against bloggers and website developers
for not stating their advertising income, or existing
connections with ad networks.
What are your ideas about how this could potentially effect
the blog community?

I use an expensive med that has no generic (you bet I asked, too!). Thank god the doctor was sympathetic and gave me samples.

Even if you do have insurance, in most cases, the insurance company will only pay for the generic form. If the patient wants the brand name, he or she pays a lot more. It's a racket and the drug and insurance companies are the beneficiaries.
