Bush messed up when Congress approved and he signed into law Medicare part D that prohibits negotiation of drug prices. That and the fact that Medicare is classified as government insurance and patients often can't take advantage of coupons and 'first month free' offers.

Maybe if everyone in the country took proactive measures to prevent their health problems, the drug companies would not be booming. Eat healthy exercise and sleep.,.

No drug advertising. Too much money spent on it.

Because so much of the country depends on them, theyre increasing the prices. No wonder theres ad campaigns over here telling you Not to take pills for every single little minor thing that ails you.
