Yes . . . people need to have personal responsibility, but the medical / pharmaceutical industry seems to have NO ethics anymore - it’s all about money. It’s all about hooking people on every drug they can. It’s all about bringing people back to pay more - and more - and more.

Watch Fox News lately (and probably every other news channel)? All you get is a CONSTANT stream of commercials INTENT on hooking every American on every possible drug. Ohh! Heavens! My C-PAP device isn’t clean (whatever THAT is!). Uh, oh... I better make that doctor’s appointment because I need to be tested for some disease I don’t show any signs of having - but, you know, you can’t be too safe! And don’t get me started on the garbage they peddle for “erectile dysfunction,” miracle diets and other tabloid-style crap. All of it should be banned, IMHO - ALL OF IT. If you did, I bet you’d see a noticeable drop of people hooked on this crap because people would wise up and learn they can live just fine without a constant stream of drugs going into their bodies.

Just to be clear, I was talking about the advertising of this garbage, not the garbage itself.

LOL!!! If I have to see another commercial for Jardiance with the fake camera crew actors, I’m putting a shoe through my TV.....

Hey! Leave my CPAP alone. I need it to sleep. And thanks for reminding me, my mask is currently soaking in the sink and I need to finish cleaning it. Oh what a pain.

And later in the evening you have the unending ads for lawyers stating that if you took the meds and have had any sort of problem since, call them and get big money!
