I find it strange that people will revolt over paying for their life saving medications.

But have no problem with paying hundreds of dollars a month for a cell phone. Which is bandwidth & storage not a product produced, labeled, stored & distributed under cGMP’s.

Use a landline & email for g*ds sake.

Most of the poorer folks do not pay "hundreds" for a cell phone/line. They go with Boost or Cricket or Tracfone and pay $40-$80/month for unlimited (though throttled) usage. (I am not even considering the easily gotten Obamaphones) Landlines can easily cost over $40/month these days. There was a time when cell usage was in an of itself an extravagance. Now it might actually be almost the opposite.

Hundreds of dollars a month? You better check with your carrier if you're paying anywhere close to that.

You are a fool if you think that people who are needing medication of a life saving nature are spending money frivolously.

A man with the job he has, and I suspect his health does not let him do more, has no extra frivolous money.
