Most pharmaceutical programs look at income and expenses and do not count assets, which can often disqualify people from government programs. It appears strange that they claim to be non-profit with a com., and not org, but buyer beware I guess. Physicians should be aware that a large number of people might have difficulty affording a drug without insurance coverage. Doctors are obligated in my opinion, to advocate for their patients. They should get involved and help to access medications.
Some physicians feel that there are limits to their obligations.
Doctors, however, agreed that their implied social contract calls on them to help needy patients. I wonder if they feel that ensuring that patients obtain prescription drugs is part of that contract. I wonder why. Of course it's not a long-term solution for patients with chronic conditions. A more viable option is the patient assistance programs.
