Government does not solve the Problem.......Government IS the Problem

No matter what part of the world, it all comes down to control.
France:

A QUARTER of French pharmacies face a “strong risk” of going bankrupt this year, according to business insurance and information experts Coface.

The assessment comes as pharmacies are reportedly finding it harder to make profits due to several years of government policies aimed at cutting health system expenses.

A total of 126 closed last year, up from 101 in 2009.

There is no shortage yet – figures from the Ordre National des Pharmaciens show there were more than 22,000 pharmacies in 2009 – but the trend is getting worse.
