Re: OT: AARP

Yes, and the last government "discount card" for seniors which was supposed
to save about a third of the drug costs--well the cost of those drugs has
risen just about 30% since then. The "discounts" didn't go to the seniors,
they went as a bonus to the drug companies!

help write the plan .......

Ah yes, the poor, struggling drug companies, our prez must have a soft
spot in his heart for them. ?Their profits are right up there with the
oil companies these days.
