Pharmacies Out Perform Green Groceries
It is no surprise that pharmacies out perform green groceries. What is news to most people is that green groceries will do more for your health.
Pharmacy Advantage
The pharmacy advantage comes from the supporting cast. They are many from the diagnostic labs, doctors training, to the media ads, and now the new sweeping health care bill.
While the nation can breathe a sigh of relief that the healthcare debate may be over, the new laws would make pharmacies a beneficiary of this legislation.
With an expansion of coverage there will be more prescriptions written. Not one of them will be for the green groceries that are the long term solution.
The new healthcare law is going to benefit healthcare companies. Hospitals will get a larger number of insured patients, and some will have prescription coverage.
There will be people who were uninsured before because of preexisting conditions. Once they are added to the roll of people who will need prescriptions filled business will be brisk. Pharmaceuticals are already one of the fastest growing segments of our economy.
Biotech
Biotech will be getting longer patent protection and new research-and-development tax credits. Developing new drugs will now become more profitable for the biotech companies.
The influx of new drugs will help the pharmacies, who will not have to sell other products to see a profit. That is why you will be seeing a drug store on every other corner. The large chain drug stores will be expanding their operations.
Green Groceries
Green groceries aren’t going to out perform pharmacies in terms of profit, but in terms of turning around someone’s health they may.
Maximum health will not be found in a pill, or any medication. It starts with the main ingredients in your diet. The green groceries are a healthy option, and the right way to regain and stay healthy.
The competitive edge belongs to the pharmacies, but the future hopefully belongs to the green groceries. If not, than we are all getting a raw deal no matter what type of health coverage we get.
