No more 40 million seniors frivolously using 80% of the nations prescription drugs because the cheaper masked price leads to much higher excessive demand.

And the richbashers here hate the CEOs who make a piddly $100 million, nothing compared to the hordes of seniors in its effect on the cost of healthcare.

Presciption drugs and the companies and the people that work there have also made America the great country it is today, and for a fraction of the cost of seniors I might add.

Prices aren't responsible for most of the prescription drug cost increases, raw quantities are.

Sure wish I knew what drugs Zendari is taking. I have absolutely no clue what he is trying to say.

A request, Zendari: Instead of your usual sound-bite, sniper-attack method of "argumentation", please write a coherent, logical paragraph or two explaining what you are getting at. In doing so, justify each of the following claims:

Seniors are frivolously using prescription drugs. (Do you really think seniors would be spending many thousands of dollars each year - currently with ZERO insurance subsidy - paying for drugs they don't need to take? Oh, sure, there are generic subsitutes in some cases, but the amounts of money that could be saved with generics is a small fraction of the full amount spent on drugs, and the generics issue is not specific to seniors.)

Seniors are driving up the cost of drugs unnecessarily. (Please explain how seniors specifically are responsible for the high cost of drugs, and what actions could be taken on the part of seniors that would make the prices much lower.)

I get the sense that you think seniors are by and large paying a fraction of the full cost of drugs, and that's leading to over-use. Ironically, seniors are the one group that does NOT pay only an insurance co-pay for drugs (most of them are no longer working, and therefore they are NOT covered by gilt-edged company health insurance plans that pay for most of the cost of drugs). Instead, it's the working NON-elderly - with company health-insurance plans - who get "masked" prices.

Man, I wish I could be around to see what happens when you get old.

When I get old all these ponzi schemes will be as dead as you will be.

Keep in mind that it is these hordes of Seniors thant made American the great country you and your folks choose to immigrate too.

I can't believe you value drugs and companies over the value of human life. :disgust:

Total summed up Zen quite well.

He apparently has never had a elderly family members that need medicine to extend their life and/or quality of life.

Were they killed off or something???

He's just an ignorant kid, what do you expect?
Wait 20 years until his parents are the ones that need medication & he'll be singing a different tune.. never mind 40 years from now when HE needs them & the then current generation laughs in his face & tells him his life doesn't matter because the drug companies profits are more important.
