We are all GREEDY.....Young people who are healthy make up all these marketing programs which includes the strategy for drug price increases. They are doing it with the idea that they will forever be young and healthy, and can't imagine life any other way. Therefore there is no consequence to them at all, and certainly no consciousness of their future situation or need. It is all a fast track to get rich quick. Get in grab as much as you can and get out. Try to hold onto as much as you can too. Then when you need to dig a little deeper into your pocket, it's ok, you've got it. Tough luck for those who don't... It's a peter pan world.....for some.. Nobody is REALLY surprised are they?

Med Part D may have saved some seniors some cash on the surface, but the rest of us paid dearly. I believe I stated earlier that this was rampant in the industry.
