About This Quote
Eli Lily & Company, the company behind the drug Prozac, is currently offering a rebate to medical insurance companies. This rebate will cost the company $35 billion over the next 10 years. The rebate is an attempt to prevent medical insurance companies from moving away from paying for expensive drugs such as Prozac and places the responsibility on patients who get their drugs free of charge through their insurance. The rebate will be paid back with tax money. Some feel this is an unfair way to get the money and that it should be paid back by Lilly.
