Prescription Drugs - Health Care's Low Hanging Fruit


There is an often overused metaphor equating things easily obtained with "low hanging fruit".  And in the world of health care and consumer driven health care (CDH), there is perhaps NO lower hanging fruit to be had than prescription drugs.  I would further submit that few if any other product category in our entire economy has the sheer number of FREE...DISCOUNTED...REDUCED...SAMPLE offers connected to it, by a variety of constituencies including - manufacturers, distributors, insurers and employers - than do prescription drugs.  But do the very people these offers of "low hanging fruit" are directed toward understand the "what", "why", or even "where" associated with them?
