Every family must have its share of sadness. Rick was another one of our family to die much too young. He was only 40 years old and he died from the dreaded disease AIDS. He was a good, kind young man and boy. After a search on the Internet, an article was found describing his activism in the war against a pharmacy making money on AIDS medicines. The portion that deals with Rick follows:

AIDS Activists Accuse Druggist of Profiteering Medicine: Priority Pharmacy of San Diego counters that its prices defray costs of a toll-free hot line and other services. Los Angeles Times (LT) - SUNDAY November 21, 1993 Edition: Home Edition Section: Business Page: 1 Pt. D Col. 5 Word Count: 1,817 David R. Olmos; Times Staff Writer

'Priority's critics contend that the company's higher prices hurt AIDS patients by depleting their maximum lifetime insurance benefits more quickly. That's what angered former Priority customer Rick Stadler, a 37-year-old San Diegan with AIDS.

'I saw (Priority's) advertisement that they do all the insurance billing for you, so I went and used them," Stadler said. "A month and a half later I got my first EOB (explanation of benefits) from Travelers (Insurance Co.), and I was just outraged . . . . Everything was a minimum of $75 to $200 more per prescription."

Stadler complained of overbilling to Travelers, then submitted a claim of damages to Priority. Priority refunded $945 to Travelers and made a cash payment to Stadler, according to a copy of the settlement agreement provided to The Times. Priority denied in the agreement that it had done anything improper. Despite the criticism, Priority has strong supporters within the San Diego community. "
