Switching drugs to OTC status generally increases costs for insured patients. False.

Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines sold directly to a consumer without a prescription from a healthcare professional, as opposed to prescription drugs, which are sold only to consumers showing a prescription. In many countries, OTC drugs are selected by a regulatory agency to ensure that the ingredients of those are safe and effective when used without a physician's care.

False

Further Explanation:

The transfer of prescription medicines to OTC status is called “Rx-to-OTC switch”. Many new medicines are first introduced as the prescription medicines and post sufficient time elapsed in the use of the medicine by many patients at large scale and after gathering scientific information, for suitable conditions, a manufacturer may choose to deposit the application to the medical authorities which look after the issue of giving new OTC licenses.

OTC drugs are used to treat patients who do not need any health-care professionals if they have been proven to meet their safety standards for self medications by patients. Most of the times, a drug that has lower strength is approved for the OTC use but drugs with higher strengths require proper medical prescriptions. One example of a drug that is given under OTC status is ibuprofen which has been widely used as an OTC drug since the 1980s.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
