In fact, I think I have seen TV advertising about some drug that tells you to look for their ad in some magazine on the newstands now! 
It seems to me that healthcare in general would cost a lot less if the drug companies stopped spending millions and 10's of millions of dollars on national advertising.
OK, that is my rant for this morning, I'm done for awhile.... | I guess...but since you live in a somewhat capitalistic society they are free to be able to advertise. I guess tobacco companies would be able to sell cigs cheaper too if they didn't spend billions of dollars on advertising....
