I currently work for a nonprofit health care program that's part of a large health group. All of our salaries are paid for from grants, including doctors, believe me nobody here is in it for the money.
Yes, the drug reps stop by regularly, and for us the samples are welcome as our patients are teens who have no health insurance.
I agree that the cost of health care and meds is way too high, even for the insured. I just wanted to present another side of the issue when it comes to drug reps and free samples.
