Watertree Health President Responds To CDC Study On Prescription Affordability

DESTIN, Fla., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New data issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that one out of every twelve people in the country forgo their prescription medications in order to save money – highlighting a crisis of affordability. An even higher number ask their physicians to prescribe a lower cost medication than what was initially suggested for them.
