Do you ever notice how you go through so many medicine bottles and you're still not cured? And how expensive the medicine is getting? The other day my doctor gave me prescriptions and when I sought to fill it, I was paying at least $15 for each. Now get this. The next time I got a prescription it was for Anaprox. But the pharmacist gave me naproxin sodium which is the same thing just without the fancy brand name and it only costed $5. An extra $10 just for the NAME! That is ridiculous.
The Medicine business nowadays...they only care for the money. Almost everything is about money now. Even the medicine they give you. I bet they have medicine that can cure you in an instant, but instead they give you medicine that would alleviate symptoms slowly so that you would have to keep refilling and paying more money. In fact the medicine they give you is making you sick. It may resolve one issue but it only opens way for another. Read the labels. Read how many side effects there are. Read the warning labels. Lets say you take medicine for your blood pressure, but then that causes problems with you heart so then you have to take medicines for your heart. Sometimes it is an endless cycle. Do you notice how we're ALWAYS getting sick. It's inevitable. The Medicine Company makes sure of it.
thankfully walmart has the $4 program. Many generic and name brand prescriptions are 4 bucks or medicine like zyrtec and claritin are over the counter instead of prescription. Anything medical costs a lot now. One time i went to the hospital because i slammed my finger in my mom's sliding car door. The total bill was over $1,000 just to get one painkiller, several xrays to tell me my finger wasnt broken and a splint. the painkiller i think was around 50-90 dollars- FOR JUST ONE!
You would be suprised to know what the medcine you take everyday is actually made out of.
Much of the price of medication isn't for the medication itself, but for the company to do more research and find new drugs that work. It's easy to see how much big drug companies charge in relation to their cost and assume that their greedy, but really, they're using that money to find a cure for another disease, which is pretty expensive to do.
