The article is about efforts to make prescription drug coverage more affordable, in light of the fact that brand name drugs are so expensive. In fact, the article does a good job of showing how prescribing brand name drugs drives up health care costs, vs. prescribing generics.
The was no mention of people being shocked that health care costs money. In fact, the article was about the board in Mass. that is deliberating on how to regulate drug coverage in health plans.
