The current economy is having some serious effects on the nation's healthcare system. More and more patients are spending less and less on their prescription medications. For some, that may lead to the worsening of serious medical conditions (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, COPD).

Chronic medical conditions need to be treated appropriately and if patients are skipping medications or reducing dosages on their own, then this may lead to some serious public health problems. What's the solution?
