Since it is probable or likely that APhA may have to consider and act upon some proposals in the area of drug costs before the next annual meeting, we recommend that APhA Board of Trustees be guided by whether the proposals:

1. Permit pharmacists to select and dispense a quality drug product;
2. Establish some mechanism to assist pharmacists in selecting quality, drug products under the cost and other criteria established;
3. Permit the use of any available drug product when unique medical circumstances so require;
4. Establish a reasonable remuneration base for pharmacists rendering services under the program;
5. Guarantee recipients free choice of pharmacy; and
6. Limit the reimbursement for pharmacists’ services to those provided by duly licensed pharmacists.
