The Same, But Different

When you look at this picture, what do you see? It's two different pills, right? Wrong. They are the same. You can imagine my surprise when I received my refill on my reflux medication and I saw the green ones. The pills have been white for a couple of years. My first assumption was that I received the wrong medication. Upon reading the label it says that the pills may appear different in color and size. That's a nice disclaimer. Am I just to assume that because it might be different in shape and color that it's the same? Am I to put my fate in the hands of a 10¢ label on a plastic medication bottle? Is this what we have to look forward to with healthcare reform? God help us!
