Arturo Cilio wrote: but how has the state managed to save on drugs if it pays, now as before, the lowest price of the drug and the rest, if due, is paid by the citizen? Are you kidding us? Whoever wrote the article demonstrates where the state has recovered with the generic policy because the obligation favors a whole series of generic companies with almost no evidence of in vivo bioequivalence.

IF SERVICES WITHOUT WAITING LISTS ARE IMPROVED OVER ONE YEAR, THE SICK WOULD NOT NEED TO GO TO THE ED TO SPEED UP A SERVICE: THE REASON FOR ACCESS IS THIS, CERTAINLY NOT THE LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF THE GP! BUT A PUNITIVE DETERRENT HAS ALSO BEEN INVENTED: THE TICKET. THEY TOLD ME THAT POLITICIANS HAVE A POLICY PAID BY US TO BE ABLE TO TREAT WHERE THEY WANT!!! FRANCO FANTINI.

Andrea Fontanella wrote: I would just like to understand why the state saves money with generics, given that the regional health agencies always reimburse pharmacies the same amount: whether it's generics, branded medicines, generic drug. On the contrary, in the case of branded products, the Regions even reimburse with a lower percentage. Generics are only allowed to introduce an "indirect ticket". So whoever loses economically with branded is only the citizen, and he does so by his own free choice. Andrew Fontanelle
