An innovative business model for reducing medication cost

1 pointsby hoonbaeover 13 years ago
There are all sorts of chronic disease ranging from diabetes, adhd, HIV, etc. And depending on the chronic conditions, medication costs are extremely expensive.<p>This may be a stupid questions so please let me know if that is the case. But, I was wondering if there would be some sort of innovative approach to lower the cost of these medications through a flash-sale (i.e. groupon, fab.com, gilt) business model.<p>I guess the main objective is to find ways to provide expensive medication to those who are in need that would not just benefit the patient but also the pharmaceutical companies.<p>I came across this website: http://www.goodrx.com/ that is definitely heading towards the direction that I am talking about.<p>I need all the input/comments I could get so feel free to give me some ideas! Thanks!
