Bottom line, many now a days are spoiled and want to pop a pill to address any and every ailment, pain or fill in the blank they have and expect that it will cost them little or nothing to do so with no side effects or risks.
It's easy to say everyone is "pill happy," and especially so if it's a choice for you, but some people are stuck with meds that cost so much more on Medicare, it's a major expense.

Since you understand the industry, could you explain why a drug that's not cheap but somewhat affordable can increase in price many times over in just a year? It's hard to understand, as a consumer.

thanks,
