Study: Free meds after heart attack would save lives
Eliminating the cost of medications for heart attack patients would
lower overall medical costs and save lives in the long run, new
research suggests. Researchers say that though the medications
given to heart attack patients--including aspirin, beta blockers,
ACE inhibitors and statins--aren't very expensive, most patients
don't take them as prescribed. Experts say that making these
medications free would encourage more people to stay on them, and
this would prevent patients from suffering more expensive cardiac
problems in the future.
