A recent PBS Newshour feature revealed how generic drug pricing can vary widely, so much so that one cancer survivor was quoted prices as high as $400/month for a life-saving drug while other pharmacies sold it for $10/month. The story behind generic drug pricing is eye-opening, and for many the education can be the difference between life and death.
