It goes two ways. When they jack up prices so seniors have to choose between eating and medicine to stay alive. If my mother (who was a diabetic with high blood pressure) had to choose between eating (which is essential when you are a diabetic) and medicine - she would of course choose eating! If it weren't for me she would never have gotten her medicine and would not have lived as long as she did. These drug companies are paying tons of money on advertising right now. Everytime you turn on the tv you are bombarded with drug commercials like they are advertising candy! In the meantime prescriptions are going up and up! Even the co-pays are rising if you have insurance! Its too much for seniors on a fixed income. They have to develop some sort of prescription drug program for senior so maybe seniors won't have to make that trip. We do very little for our seniors here in this country this is the least we can do for them.

"We do very little for our seniors here in this country this is the least we can do for them." The next well on which I will supervise will be in deep South Texas.
I will be glad to help if I can.
