------------------------------------------------------------ Why do you cross a HMO organization with the Pharmaceutical industry? We have a need for reducing the COMPLEXITY of healthcare and the need to have every business become a tiny provider health benefits. It makes no sense at all that a manufacturing company has to also have expertises in medical plans, dental plans, eye plans. I'd love for a law to be enacted that would prohibit drug companies from advertising.
