Publishers Letters to the Editor Anti-trust laws bypassed To the Editor: Merck, Sharp and Dohme Pharmaceutical Co. has agreed to buy Medco Containment Ser vices, Inc., for $6 billion. This would give the world's largest drug manufacturing company control over one of the largest mail order drug companies. At the same time Merck & Co. has notified the pharmacies that order from them that the minimum order has been raised from 0 to $750. Does it matter if rural residents will not have immediate access to antibiotics if mail order is all that Health Dept.__ The Morrow County Health Department lists the following schedule for August: Thursday, Aug. 5-blood pressures and immunizations, Heppner office, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 10-blood pressures and immunizations, county office, Irrigon, 1-4 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 17-blood pressures 11 a.m.-noon, lone Ci ty Hall; blood pressures and im munizations, Boardman City Hall, 1:30-4 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 18-blood pressures, St Patrick’s Senior Center, 11 a.m.-noon; Thursday, Aug. 19-blood pressures and immunizations, Heppner office, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 24-blood pressures and immunizations, county office, Irrigon, 1-4 p.m. : • . c ; ‘ ., Market Report Compliments of the Morrow County Grain Growers V- • . vV. » • > v. ; V • \ * \V * . **f’ • • • » * ’ ♦ , * * Tuesday, August 3, 1993 White Soft *3.45/*3.46 Aug. *3.47/*3.48 Sept. *3.49/*3.50 Oct.

If our government allows anti trust laws to be by-passed in the name of "managed care” , it will not only be rural and small urban communities who will suffer. When Merck controls the whole process from manufactur ing through retail, does everyone everywhere want to depend on Merck & Co.’s good will for any chance of reasonable drug prices? Only public input will count here. Tell it to your congressman.
