"I don't always take prescription drugs. But when I do its because I
want to bleed out of my arsehole and cure my dry eyes "

Enough is enough… President Trump is right – Big Pharma is getting
away with murder. It is time to stop it.

Anyone who watches US TV for even the shortest period of time has to
notice the simple fact that Big Pharma completely controls the US
media. That fact gives them monstrous power over the American people
– and they use it.

The AARP says of this:

“President Trump Vows to Bring Down Prescription Drug Costs – And AARP
stands ready to pressure Congress to follow his lead…

That was great to hear because this is an issue that AARP knows is
critically important to all Americans, but especially to the many
people over 50 who depend on prescription drugs to keep them healthy
and who’ve been devastated by the price increases we’ve seen in recent
years.

Drug prices are out of control. Prices of brand-name prescription
drugs increased almost 130 percent faster than inflation did in 2015
alone.

Advertising drives cost increases. According to Kantar Media, the drug
industry spent $5.4 billion on ads in 2015. That’s a 19 percent
increase over 2014 alone.

Americans depend on their prescriptions. A recent AARP survey found
that 3 of 4 adults age 50+ regularly take at least one prescription
medication, and over 8 in 10 take at least two drugs. More than half
of seniors take four or more drugs.

High prices put an unfair burden on older Americans. The average cost
of a year’s supply of a prescription drug more than doubled since 2006
to over $11,000 in 2013. That’s about three-fourths of the average
Social Security retirement benefit, or almost half the median income
of people on Medicare.

High drug prices raise costs for everyone. People with health coverage
will pay higher health insurance premiums and deductibles.

Taxpayers foot the bill. Higher prescription drug spending also
increases costs for programs such as Medicare and Medicaid; this
translates into higher taxes, cuts to public programs or both.”

But, the powerful AARP goes MUCH further.

"I saw hundreds of patients in my practice who were totally unaware

brain damage, permanent drug-induced disabilities, temporary or

By getting this "information " from Bolen's site, it's pretty much
guaranteed to be inaccurate. Truth is that the AARP came out the other day
against Trump and Paul Ryan's "Trumpcare" plan. I won't call it a health
plan because it's basically a "no health" plan. If you don't believe me
about AARP's position on this, go have a look for yourself:

http://www.aarp.org/politics-society/advocacy/info-2017/aarp-opposes-healthcare-bill.html


Or

http://tinyurl.com/jqzrabw

Trump has pretty much pledged his wealthy campaign donors huge tax breaks,
that the middle class is going to have to pay for with loss of insurance
and medical care, and since they are making other changes the cost of
prescriptions will only rise. You really need to start getting your
information from reliable sites. Don't tell us what Bolen said AARP says.
Go straight to the source: AARP.
