If half the pharmacies in the country close, the price of drugs will drop by half instead of rising sharply.
For example, in a street with a length of 100 meters, there are 100 pharmacies, and now there are only five. 10 The cost of decoration, rent, personnel and purchase funds for pharmacies is 10, so there are only five pharmacies at a cost of 5. In other words, the cost of five pharmacies in this street has been reduced by half, but the profit has increased.
Why do drug prices fall and profits rise instead? Because the difference between a factory and a drugstore is not calculated by percentage, but by how many times.
There is a drugstore next to it, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, and the rent is 1.5 thousand a month. Six salespeople can only break even if they sell thousands a day, but I have observed that it is difficult enough to sell thousands. Why can they continue to operate? It's drug price profiteering.
Our street is about 600 meters, there are 8 pharmacies, and there is only one public toilet in this street.
With more pharmacies and higher personnel costs, the hope of making money is different. If the number of pharmacies is reduced by half, the price will decrease rather than increase.
This problem need not be assumed, and it is estimated that it may become a reality in the near future.
Starting from 14, the state began to crack down on the problem of "health care products counterfeiting", which curbed the existence of false certificates and untrue drug efficacy in some pharmacies, and many pharmacies closed down. Moreover, in recent years, the state has issued a policy: "zero price difference of hospital drugs", which means that hospitals can sell as many drugs as they buy, and the drug price is very strict, so they can't charge more.
It is estimated that in a few years, the state will introduce new policies to rectify the uneven market prices, the proliferation of drugs, the untrue efficacy of drugs and other issues, and unify the retail prices of the same kind of drugs.
Probably not. Think about the Banlangen incident in 12. After the rectification, the number of pharmacies has dropped by more than one third. What about the price? Maybe it's inflation. In seven years, people's wages have increased by 1 times, house prices have increased by 10 times, food prices have increased by 2-3 times, and medicines are different. Most drugs did not increase in price, and a few drugs increased by 0.5 times. Generally speaking, the price of drugs has not increased.
If it is a diet, if the competitiveness becomes smaller and the cost remains the same, the price may increase or rise sharply! However, unlike other industries, medicine is a necessity of society, especially the national policy of zero price difference in hospitals is lowering prices, so it is estimated that there will not be much room for growth.
Explain it to you in detail, and you will understand that the drug price of a hospital is not determined by the hospital, but set by the drug production enterprises, price bureau, food and drug administration, development and reform commission and other departments, which directly govern the drug price of the hospital. For example, the purchase price of a drug is 47.53 yuan, and the selling price must be 47.53 yuan, not even one point more or less. Has nothing to do with these departments. The price of this box of medicine is 47.53 yuan, and it doesn't matter if the pharmacy sells it at 100 yuan, but the patient will definitely not buy it, so the medicine will not go up unless the medicine fee changes.
Therefore, I feel that even if there is only one pharmacy in the country, it is estimated that the drug price will not increase as the state controls the drug price.
There is no problem of drug price increase when retail pharmacies subtract 50%. This formulation is ridiculous! It's ridiculous! In the past n years, at least (90%) many drugs have not reached the standard at all, which means that only 30% of drugs (chemicals) in retail pharmacies! It is groundless to say that a 50% price reduction in pharmacies will lead to a price increase in drugs! Let's ask again, what does "people" rely on to maintain their lives? People in the Ming Dynasty can see that pharmacies all over the street are real, and it is not surprising to sell drugs as food! What is strange is why it is more than grain and oil stores and more than the public. How many qualified licensed pharmacists are there if all the major inspections go to pharmacies? How many people know the physical and chemical properties of drugs? Even ordinary workers (who haven't graduated from junior high school) can open 10-20 so-called chain pharmacies, which can't prove the black profits of pharmacies? There are so many pharmacies because there are too many unqualified junk pharmaceutical companies! Why are drugs produced in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan effective? Can't junk pharmaceutical companies be closed? How about closing 60% retail pharmacies to improve the quality and safety of drugs?
Personally, I think that the price increase of 100% is not a price increase, but a skyrocketing, because of the following aspects: first, 100% pharmacists didn't go to work before, so the cost was low, and then professional semi-professionals were hired to sell drugs, which was n years earlier and the profit of health care products was high. Now, don't think too much. Secondly, medical insurance bought daily chemical, so forget it. Third, pharmacies rarely opened at first. In particular, pharmacies can go public, blossom everywhere, artificially produce local strongmen, drive relatives and friends, and capital * * * enters. Now every day, it is called no, it is called invalid, and no one takes over. I talked about it yesterday and today, and I will talk about it tomorrow. The old Chinese doctor is old. Their relatives don't learn, and they can't learn if they want to. Close small clinics, set up community health service stations, and treat patients separately. Is it a wholly-owned reality? It can be said that it is unrealistic. Isn't the small pharmacy very inhuman? Doctors in small clinics are professionals, and family members are helpers. No matter how high the drug price is, the service is the worst, which is human. Now many patients go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and the pharmacy staff are disgusted with asking more questions. If there is a problem, say it's the pharmacist and the staff. The world is so big that there are no friends. I don't know whether the first 30 years or the last 30 years. Can I watch it while walking?
Those who say they won't raise prices don't understand at all.
First of all, you turn off half, why turn off half? Some of them are not compliant. Why turn them off for compliance? The standard requirements of all aspects of survival are extremely high, so the cost of all aspects of the store will increase a lot, which will eventually be imposed on consumers, because this is a business rule and consumers will eventually use it.
Secondly, if you close half, the competition will be reduced. There are many stores, and when the competition is fierce, the prices are all at or even lower than the stipulated selling price. If you close half, give it a try.
Third, shut down half, so many manufacturers sell drugs and health care products to whom, pharmaceutical companies can't bear it at first, which will inevitably lead to a large number of industrial workers losing their jobs, and then the cost of maintaining this huge pharmaceutical company will increase. If the drugs can't be sold, who will pay taxes to the government, then the huge expenses in the middle will eventually be added to the drugs and consumers. You may say that the number of drug addicts has not decreased, but there are more pharmacies, and the sales will always be 1+ 1 "2.
There are several medical research institutes in China. The names of western medicines produced in China change rapidly and are new. Most of them are imitations of old foreign products in the last century, all of which are generic drugs in recent years. The generic drug instructions are copied from abroad and written in great detail. Many Chinese patent medicines (including thousands of years) are unclear. There are many research institutes in China Aerospace, and several decent research institutes in medicine, only one in Tu Youyou. People's livelihood, medicine related to the health of the whole people, has not seen any decent scientific research institutes and products, and is still copying or changing its name.
Hello!
I don't think drugs will go up in price.
First of all, it is because the price of drugs is roughly composed of three parts: research and development costs, production costs and operating costs. The closure of more than half of pharmacies will obviously not affect the research and development costs and production costs of drugs, on the contrary, it will appropriately reduce the operating costs such as advertising investment and activity funds. So from this perspective, the price of drugs will not rise.
Secondly, in recent years, the country has actively tried the internet plus model in the field of drug retail. In the future, people will buy drugs in more and more ways, and the experience will be better and better. Therefore, in this sense, even if more than ordinary pharmacies close, drug prices will not rise.
Finally, I have to say that the current drug retail is basically dominated by large chain pharmacies, and single pharmacies only account for a small part. However, large chain pharmacies are generally faced with the problem that the cost of facade, labor and industry competition is increasing year by year. In order to survive, many chain pharmacies can only continue to expand, but their own management level can't keep up with the expansion speed, which also explains a series of drug retail chaos such as licensed pharmacists hanging certificates and medical insurance cards brushing daily necessities. If more than half of pharmacies are going to close soon, it will force large chain pharmacies to integrate resources, slim down reasonably and gradually move closer to the road of legal and compliant operation. In this way, in the long run, drug prices will only become more and more reasonable.
Before discussing the price of drugs, we first need to understand the pricing mechanism of drugs.
Drug sales are divided into three channel terminals. The first terminal is the hospital channel. About 90% of the drugs sold by hospitals need the government to win the bid. Once the bid price is determined, there will be basically no price adjustment before the second round of bidding. The drugstore mentioned by the subject refers to the second terminal, and the clinic channel is the third terminal. The second terminal and the third terminal are independently priced by the manufacturer, and the drug price can float freely without winning the bid. However, if half of the pharmacies close down, even if the prices of the remaining half of the clinics increase, consumers still have a great choice. They can go to hospitals or clinics to buy medicines, and it is very convenient for online pharmacies to buy medicines now.
Therefore, in the face of so much channel competition, it is almost impossible for the other half of the pharmacies to take the opportunity to raise prices because half of them have closed down, otherwise they will dig their own graves.
If some non-standard or even fake pharmacies need to be rectified or closed, even if the names of some pharmacies are closed as an important necessity for ordinary people, there will be no price increase or arbitrary price increase. Pharmacy is a window for people to buy essential medicines for minor illnesses in their daily lives, such as colds or pains, which is the top priority of people's lives and people's livelihood! The government can only manage and rectify, not shut it down. As an inpatient or outpatient department of a hospital, it is a place where people suffer from serious diseases, but now after the separation of hospital medicine, over-treatment and over-examination have become a daily habit! Problems that can be solved by a dozen yuan in outpatient service should be checked for dozens or even hundreds of yuan before they can go. First, doctors nowadays are not "treating diseases", but "asking diseases by machines and examining pains by machines". Why do you say that? As soon as you go to see a doctor, you will be asked what questions. After the patient's dictation (usually not very accurate, just feeling), you will write several lists. When you run up and down, you will take a look at the checklist and estimate why you want to ask for directions by exclusion. I will give you some medicine (depending on the person, I will give you expensive medicine, if retirees generally prescribe expensive medicine), but whether the treatment is good or not is another matter. In this way, many people generally don't want to go to the hospital. It may be more effective and reliable to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.
To sum up, my true feelings as a member of the people are indeed so! Therefore, it is suggested that pharmacies with good reputation should be kept as much as possible. At the same time, the government should have a special department to supervise and manage pharmacies to prevent them from selling drugs at random, so that ordinary people, especially the elderly, can afford diseases and medicines under limited economic conditions! Prevent drug monopoly.
