3. We allow pharma advertising on public media. It's relentless and aggravating. Ask your Dr. about?

One reason that our prices could be so exorbitant is the continuous barrage of costly media advertising that we are paying for. Other countries don’t allow pharma ads and their cost to buy the very same medicine is much less than what we pay. (Duh)

I could just as easily get any and all pertinent information from my Dr. during my yearly visit or sooner if the situation called for it. After all, as they point out, “ask your Dr.”
