        In recent years, domestic cheap medicine gradually gone. To this end, in May this year, the national development and reform commission to cancel more than 500 kinds of medicine the highest retail price at a lower price, hope that through the move to save medicine at a lower price, but the reporter visited Beijing several pharmacies, found that the past classic cheap medicine is still difficult to find. (August 5, the Beijing times) 
 
        Medicine are disappearing at a lower price, because the price is too low. Price limit too dead, there is no profit to speak of, so don't want to production, over time, the market gradually atrophic, eventually enterprises to stop production. Visible, to make a low price drugs out of the woods, the most direct way is to let go of the price. 
 
        Since may, however, the national development and reform commission (NDRC) to cancel more than 500 kinds of cheap medicine retail price has passed three months, but the indications are that cancel the stone into the market price fixing, and no any broken, everything seems to be still, it is always suspicious, cancel the low price, the highest price of medicine can help afford cheap medicine? 
 
        Cracking cheap medicine trouble, cannot leave the most critical points, one is to straighten out the rules of each link from production to circulation. 2 it is to respect the market rule, to let go of the price have gone further. Three is to consider administering drug certain subsidy, or implement fixed-point production, build low-cost pharmacy warehouses, etc. Through these measures, solve cheap drugs from problems in every link of production and circulation, etc. 
 
        Low-cost medicine to put prescription frame, look be like simple, actually involves medical system reform of many problems. (zhi-hua luo)
