This survey studied the satisfaction of university employees with the mail-service pharmacy option of their major health insurance provider. Nearly 92% reported good or excellent satisfaction with the mail order service. Of the 76.5% who reported receiving drug information brochures with some or all of their prescriptions, 91.5% rated the information excellent or good. When asked what sources they used to get additional information, 31.2% used a mail service pharmacist. These data suggest that mail order pharmacies, which have increased volume 50% per year since 1981, can expect to maintain and expand their market share. All pharmacy sectors should use this information to determine ways to enhance their competitive position.
I examine the potential effects of the creation of a single European market on the health policy regimes of the twelve member states of the European Community (EC), arguing that few changes can be expected in the basic nature of those regimes and that a Community-wide health policy regime is unlikely to emerge in the near future. Domestic health policy regimes and care systems will remain the dominant approach to health care delivery, and it is not likely that the American approach will be adopted. However, EC legislation designed to create favorable trade, economic, and fiscal conditions may affect key industries like pharmaceuticals and health insurance, with consequences for national health policy regimes. Patterns in Community-wide policy-making suggest that it will become increasingly difficult to define health issues in purely domestic or international terms.
