All joking aside... Niteal are you actually looking at a CGT?
Back to the joking... Niteal when you get your CGT and need somebody to look after the GT2, give me a call.

There's gotta be a way that this is Obama's fault.............maybe he's giving heat because our generic drugs are so much cheaper that his citizens are complaining. Therefore if he gets us to raise the costs of over the counter prices, it'll put drug prices at par.
Might as well blame him, everyone else is for something. It's his fault that they launched the new spyder in California first.

The one's hardest hit won't be the Shoppers DM, Pharmaplus, Rexall, etc... It will be the small independant drug stores in rurual areas.
The larger drug stores will still survive with high front store revenue and profits - but many smaller stores will simply need to close their doors - eliminating service for rural areas, and putting thousands out of work.
The larger chain stores (shoppers, Pharmaplus, etc...) are fighting this reform not just for themselves, but for the whole industry. They are not just shaving costs here - it's really cutting down to the bone.

Its actually a complete load of bollocks. our dispensing fees are going up one dollar per rx for all government paid rx's. the average pharmacy does around $600k in sales of which 25% is generic drugs. half of this generic drug cost is paid via government subsidized rx's which equates to around $150k in generic sales. 20-25% of this amount is what pharmacies wont be getting anymore in kick backs. however, the average pharmacy also dispenses a minmum of 50 government paid rx's every business day, which equates to $50 more in dispensing fees per business day. the math says that this average pharmacy will be shy of $13000 dollars a year.
as a pharmacist, i want to be paid more (and more!). but when u look at it properly its better for the patient as drug costs will come down. pharmacist's (and other health care professionals) have always been treated well - box seats at hockey games, holidays etc etc.... so maybe its time to take on the chin.
i still would gladly accept any donations
towards my carrera gt fund.
