Big Pharma in these United States of, by and for the corporations is nothing but a giant, federally sanctioned con-game just like socialist security is. The reason why meds are so expensive in this country is because pharmaceuticals are the essence of corporate greed who with-hold lifesaving medicines and charge top dollar to those who still have health insurance.
Bottom line: 40 million uninsured people in this country and corporate greed run amok. Big Pharma is just the tip of that iceberg. Is it any wonder why people are going to TJ and/or Canada and/or ordering online to buy their meds. Don't demonize the consumer, hold the pharmaceuticals responsible for being so f*cking greedy they charge a dying person the highest amount they can extort.

| major marco makes perfect sense.
My ulcer medication is so high I can barely pay for it, I dont know which is worse the price I pay or not being able to sleep at night.
If I knew I could get the same thing (genuine) at 1/3 the price, hell I would. | |

All the symptoms of the problem, that you've accurately mentioned, are the results of a society that has lost (or should I say rejected) its moral compass; as long as the rejection of basic, time tested/proven, principles of morality continue to be the norm championed by so called "progressive leaders" of our society, we will continue on the downward spiral that has befallen this once great nation, every single civilization that was once great, experienced the consequences of such fateful decision(s), ours is no different and even though this historical evidence is overwhelmingly crystal clear, God forbid, if anyone running for elected or appointed office, dares to tell the truth about this self-evident issue, the "progressive" camp would have a field day with them.

Over 90% of the average person's lifetime medical expenditures occur in the last month of that person's life. It's not as much a matter of corporate greed as it is a mindset that pervades our society. We say "Just do whatever you can doctor" and then whine because not only does the patient eventually die, but the costs incurred whether "covered by insurance" or not are eventually passed on to the living. It is sheer irresponsibility based on our unwillingness to let go of this life. | |
