My pharmacist increased his credit lines to buy as much as he could before cost shifting took place.

He blames it 100% on Obamacare, which allowed big pharma to increase prices to consumers in order to lower costs to Medicare and some insurance plans.

Add in increases in copay and deductibles, and consumers that play by the rules get whacked again by the Obama team.

“Obamacare, which allowed big pharma to increase prices to consumers in order to lower costs to Medicare and some insurance plans.”

:::::::::::::

The medical industry takeover plan, Obamacare, was designed for this purpose -— not really for optimization of medical care, as we now know without any doubt. This piece of the deceitful plan is to help pay for it and is just the tip of the iceberg to this horror story. Obama and his ilk are doing a complex plan to keep attention off of it.

A few years ago it was pointed out that the profit margin for drug companies was about 20%, whereas other businesses had profit margins ranging from 3 to 8%. Have you checked out Forbes lists of Executive Compensation recently. CEOs of drug companies make obscene salaries. They are just plain greedy so and sos taking advantage of people’s dire needs. For shame.

However, if you take good care of yourself, eat nourishing foods, get exercise, stop smoking and heavy drinking, take appropriate supplements, etc. you won’t need much of these drugs. Will serve the SOBs right.
