OK I have a question . We all know Pharmaceutical companies are the big evil. They will wallow in their filth demanding the American consumer bow down and suckle at teat of their poison. Drink the kool aid as it were. OOOOh you say we have been promised health care...sure but you people must realise this is not a right now thing. Here is a breakdown as to what I sacrifice to pharmaceutical gods everymonth:
for my son:beteween his ADHD med, Mood Leveler, and anti Tic med, not to mention his thyroid med and the various supplements..his meds run over 200.00/month
for Shauna: medicine for her Soriatic arthritis, which makes her deathly ill for a couple of day not not to mention her meds to help things level for her...150.00/month
my meds:compared to thiers almost non existing..until you get my battery of bloodpressure meds and beta blockers to try and keep me from having a another stroke ( I have actually had two)...but there are months I go without so Shauna and Grayson can have what they need to live a normal life, We all know that with technology many of these meds can be made much cheaper however some of the biggest lobbyist out there push push and push to get the favoritism (i.e.dinners, good company, etc).
I mean it is because of this that when I order my son's asthma med I have two options. Get the one that when he uses it will exacerbate the adhd and bounce him off the walls for hours. the other option is a sister drug that shows to have less effect of that sort. This is the sore spot...the one that really messes him up is super cheap, but I am going to pay more so I can use the one that will work less adverse to him, because the drug companies hold my insurance hostage.
Here's the rub..many many many many of the drugs out nowadays could be made readily available for everyone..not just the few . Except the drug companies scream "what about us"...they have the money for research, its the kings in the tops of those ivory towers who are throwing banquets and sending money off-shore, and taking decadent vacations is what is driving the price. I don't like to wish ill on people but if only one of them had to go thru the struggle to pay some meds and put off others so your family could survive things would change.
And people are wondering why American citizens are going to Europe, Canada, and Mexico for meds...this is why. So not to pay out too much, why do our citizens need to leave to do this? When the same prices and availability should be there. We are going to advertise this country as to how advanced and ahead of it all we are...lets live up to it! DO IT, DO IT NOW
Fix this! Fix it at home! Fix it now!
