Ms. White, quickly.... One of the reasons it is thought that a national pharmacare would save money is that it would bring in bulk buying, have a national formulary, start dealing with cost-related non-adherence, provide exclusive access to some providers to negotiate lower prices, streamline the administration—cancelling thousands and thousands of private administration plans and substituting one streamlined public plan—and have better prescription practices. Are those some of the factors that might lead to lower costs?
