Many Heart Attack Patients Don't Refill Their Meds

Great news!

Older people who've suffered a myocardial infarction often don't take the medications they've been given, a study shows.

Seniors filled prescriptions for clopidogrel less than half the time on average, for instance. And the less diligent they were at getting their meds, the more likely they were to have health problems and die early, researchers found.

This is something that can be tracked.

Now we do not have to pay for these folks if they suffer a complication from non-compliance with their medications.
