This subject hits home for everyone esp. baby boomers who need it the most. I hope the Trump administration can turn it around but I have my doubts.
Society today is pill happy. There is a pill developed for everything and doctors are glade to prescribe them because they get kick backs. The drug companies get to advertise their drugs on TV now and people sit there watching their TV and say, I have those symptoms, I need those drugs. In most cases the side affects are worse than the symptom you are trying to cure.
I was being sarcastic when I said "where are my pills". I'm 63 years old and I'm not on any medication yet and I want to keep it that way as long as possible.
