Today's blog highlights the recent New York Times article that addresses one of the biggest issue our country faces today - those who can afford healthcare the least are asked to pay the highest for prescription drugs due to a lack of insurance. This week Express Scripts announced that they would begin to offer a lower rate to these individuals.
Katie Thomas of the New York Times writes, "Timothy C. Wentworth, the chief executive of Express Scripts, said about 30 million Americans either have no insurance or high deductible plans. He said the program was not initiated with the changes to the health care law in mind, but rather to help people who are in need. “We launched this with an idea that we can get those 30 million people similar discounts to what good-sized payers get, and provide them relief," he said in an interview.
