Tonks, have you seen the latest commercial for osteoporosis prevention? First, there was Fosamax, but you had to remember to take it once a week. Then there was Boniva for those who found once a week too onerous. Now there is once-a-year Reclast for the woman who is just too busy to remember to take a pill once a month. The only catch is that it has to be given IV, so in addition to whatever it costs (I'm guessing quite a bit), you get a hospital bill for use of the infusion center. How did a woman like that remember to take the pill? Her insulin? An aspirin every day? Any other medication she's on? And we wonder why healthcare costs so much in this country?
