Script Swap

I was reading a post today on Fix. Basically she was sharing how she went to the dermatologist to have something serious looked at, and after that was addressed, the doctor went on to try and sell her a bunch of unnecessary products that he could prescribe. She was questioning why her insurance would pay for these things, but not more medically necessary stuff. She proposed the idea of a program where we could sort of "donate" the expense that would have been used for our prescriptions, should we choose not to fill them, to people without insurance who need other prescriptions filled. I'm sure nothing like that will ever happen, but until we get a President who values health care, it seems like a great idea to me!
