NEW YORK: Diabetes medications and blood-test supplies are sold, traded and donated on black markets because the US healthcare system isn't meeting patients' needs, a study shows.
"While there are risks to using medications and supplies that are not prescribed to them, there are also risks to rationing or not taking medications or using supplies at all," Litchman told Reuters Health by email. "The current healthcare situation in the United States is substandard for many people with chronic disease," said Mary Rogers of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, who wasn't involved in the study.
