[Diabetes-talk] FW: Talking Roche glucose meters

[Jude DaShiell]

Medicare's Formulary hasn't been updated since the 1970's and there's 
plenty of pressure from vendors to keep it that way since prices on quite 
a few items off Formulary are less than on Formulary and the vendors add 
the difference to their bottom lines.  No update will happen either 
without Congressional action. On Mon, 27 Feb 2012, cheryl echevarria
