Big Pharma is a huge contributor to this administration, and the pilot program started here in Texas - there's lots of money to be made having everyone in the country on drugs.
Just look at the print and TV ads that are out there:
Feeling creaky in the joints? Here, take this pill.
Having trouble remembering things? Take this nice pill.
Incontinece problems? This pill will fix you right up.
Issues with pitching a tent? Yo, try this one.
It's absolutely criminal.
Unless, of course, you're an adult who happens to be in severe pain, then, heaven forbid you should be given anything effective, especially if it actually makes you feel a little good. Then you're all of a sudden a worthless drug addict and your every move becomes suspect. You probably even smoke and have a gun at home.
