There are a lot of blow hards who predict the future of pharmacy.
Since I was a student, educators and leaders have been saying that pharmacy needs to change. It needs to move from a drug-centric focus to a professional-service-centric focus. Well, we still focus on the drug product.
And we may be product-centric in the future. I don't know.
But I do know that change will occur. One of the reasons is illustrated in this website which totals up the cost of various elements of each taxpayer's tax bill.
Health care's portion of the tax bill is 24%. That is unsustainable.
We can't afford to continue doing things the way we always have. Taxpayers -- including you and me -- will not stand for it.
The only question is, "How will pharmacy change?"
The answer is......beats me.
