Just yesterday, I talked with a person who had been to her Dr. for a medical problem which is causing her much dysfunction. The Dr. gave her a script to begin taking immediately..She took it to her pharmacy and learned that it would cost her $200 a month to use..She could not fill it for lack of funds. Her insurance coverage is the pits, requiring a $5000 deductable, plus a big monthly premium..It is basically catastrophic coverage. Her condition will not be treated at present..She will just have to live with pain every day..Too many people are finding themselves in this situation..The crony capitalism between big pharma and the government needs to stop. It is resulting in drug shortages and prices for individuals which are nothing short of extortion. The particular drug this person needed has been around for years and still has not gone generic, probably because the profit is too great and the drug company has been able to legally stop the lapse of the patent. This is the down side of capitalism and one which is causing people to demand socialism..
