New policy for pharmacies

The government should stop trying to control the prices of pharmaceutical drugs and leave the market to itself, says an article on the website www.qianlong.com. Following is an excerpt:

With the healthcare reform plan soon to be finalized and announced, people are questioning the government for controlling the prices of medicines in the market.

The good news is that the central government will stop setting unified prices for drugs. The bad news: the control now will be in the hands of the provincial governments, according to the latest version of the scheme.
