This article is about how bad the prices are with drugs that so many of us need. Also, there is a problem with the drug actually not working. This is creating a scarcity of drugs that is causing problems to hospitals. While alternative drugs exist, they are untested, and thus we are unsure of how what kind of an effect this will have. Also, that may increase the patient out-of-pocket expense.
