The high price of cheap pills
When was the last time you picked up a bottle of Bayer Aspirin and wondered whether it was authentic?
Never? Well, that's because Bayer is a well-known brand. You were probably in a chain store, or at least on a popular website like DrugStore.com. Plus, you don't need a prescription for aspirin.
But what if you wanted a drug that might be unavailable or cost too much in your area?
What would you do if, alternatively, the government, your doctor, or your insurance company denied your request for something you thought could help you?
