Old people don’t really need all the prescription medications the pharmaceutical industry pushes.Our grandparents did pretty well without being old junkies.Endless adverts on TV promoting pills for every perceived problem are for the enrichment of companies.I looked at the various plans available here and the deductible plus monthly premium add up to at least $750 annually best case.
When and why did Americans accept the idea that being older means taking a bunch of pills every day ?
probably the docs.
I am not that old, and pretty healthy. My doc has a head explosion that I am not on any meds.
