    My hospital has a long list of basic genetic drugs and even IV fluids we are being forced to ration. So this announcement is inspired.https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/18/health/drug-prices-hospitals.html …

        Sterile water is the latest disaster and item to ration- something we need to reconstitute antibiotics! It doesn’t get more basic than being short on water. @pfizer must fix the former Hospira factories!

        Real serious problem. But the Realities of making different drugs and supplies that require different production methods that can’t easily/quickly be converted from one product to another may hamper this effort.

        That's great! The same hospital that charges $200 for a bandaid is going to provide my IV? I'm sure they won't overcharge me.

        Yes, my pharmacy informed me the other day that they are working to prepare for shortages in our large (30/60cc) syringes in addition to ongoing IV fluid shortages. #crazytimes

        A very cool development! Also inspiring: Maryland's law that prevents price-gouging of essential generics. Yes, Pharma companies are greedy, but ultimately, drugs are expensive in the U.S. because we let them be. We have the power to change that.

        Seems like a true market failure- a situation where free markets fail to allocate resources efficiently.
