Following the price history of Medicare, since it’s now “free” those $30 BC pill packs should cost $1500 beginning in 2013.

Exactly. Whenever the government steps in to make something "free", the real price of that thing skyrockets. Or -- like food on the shelves of the old Soviet Union -- that thing gets extremely scarce.

Our economy is in the hands of mentally challenged 11 year olds.
