from SLATE's on-line news survey: All major US newspapers report
>that the FDA has approved the nation's top-selling allergy drug, Claritin, for over-the-counter-sales. A month's supply of Claritin currently costs about 60 bucks. It will sell over the counter for less than half that. But as the NY [TIMES] emphasizes, the decision will end up costing some people more money: Insurance companies won't cover Claritin anymore; so people will have to begin paying for it out of pocket. <
the good news, of course, is that more and more people in the US lack health insurance and so won't be hit by the latter...
