Health Care Reform

You can reduce your costs with regard to pharmaceuticals, but the current system is untenable no matter how much you stand on your head and attempt to curse it into being adequate.

The strategy of manipulating patents, exploitation of them, and closing the trade tangibles that are baking cakes for the only people that don't need the help, i.e. abusive, opportunistic pharmaceuticals needs to stop.

We have hit terminal velocity.

I am not offering you a website, a number to call, or a pharmacy to visit.

Discuss it with your doctor, because if yours is anything like mine, yours is just as fed up with insurance companies dictating health care as mine is.

They milk doctors and patients alike while proclaiming to be "Insurance Health Care Providers."

That is an issue that has not been addressed, and perhaps has actually gotten worse for many people right here on this board, not to mention the public at large.

I got the singular medication that I take reduced from $209/month to $7/month.

If that doesn't tell you that you are being ripped off, I don't know how to better illustrate the situation.

I take the same thing (or the generic version of it) and would love to learn your method.
