The average Tennessean is probably overweight, getting about 18 prescriptions a year and facing a nearly 1-in-3 chance of developing heart disease.

I'm quite healthy, myself. But there are hordes of overweight people everywhere I look. There are also about 3 fast food joints/person.

Wow. I think I have probably averaged 1/3 prescription drugs per year at age 32. I guess I will make up for it in the back nine, when I am a pill-popping old codger.

Eh I think it's not 18 at the same time but how many you're getting filled a year (guessing maybe they're a month long each). I don't think the average american is on 12 drugs at a time!

So are you saying they fill one script a month?

In that case, my wife fills 6 every month.... ~ $2500-$3000 retail value...thank god for insurance....

I don't know what the def. of a prescription is but yeah insurance is sweet.

I found out watching tv that a snake bite anti-dote can cost up to $100k. I never knew that treating a bite was so pricey. You'd be screwed if you didn't have insurance. That's my tip for the day.
