I wonder how many are on meds they don’t really need? I know some are necessary, but let’s not pretend that Big Pharma and Big Insurance are some altruistic, innocent industries just out to help people.
Big Pharma and Big Insurance were grifting people and creating customers long before Covid.
This guy is another Dugway Duke, beholden to his chosen career and damn the torpedoes.

Against my better judgment, I let a friend of mine move in for a while.
He left behind a big shopping bag FULL of prescription medicine bottles, mostly full, all paid for by Medicaid. Seriously, this guy is in his 40s and he has like 20 prescriptions, including, of course, the pain pills. He didn’t leave those behind. Near as far as I could tell, those pain pills were the only prescription he “took as directed”, well, except he took more than directed and went to the ER on a regular basis to get more...
(One of the reasons he had to move out is that he didn’t really care too much about paying rent or doing anything other than being a sponge).
For sure.
