It is a crying shame that wholesale prices of brand-name drugs increased by 7.1 percent in 2004.
Older Americans take most of these drugs because they cannot take the generic drugs.
We older American citizens live on our Social Security and pensions and cannot afford to have our prescriptions filled each month.
Retirement pensions from some places are $40 to $50 a month, and if you are lucky, $60 a month.
This is a very big problem, and I think our elected officials should be working on the problem instead of worrying about something else.
Our senior citizens have made our country strong by serving in the wars and doing all they could do and still do to keep us free. They need help now, so please help to get the pharmaceutical companies to lower their prices for their customers -- and make less profit for themselves. It can be done if they want it to be done. God bless us all.

I feel your pain. I am not older but have been subject to food, room board, or drugs.
Look online, do www.google.com for 'whatever drug you want' no prescription.
If you search google like this, you would be surprised. I like mexico.
