recessive economy = recessive care

When you can't afford gas, bills, car, mortgage, and food which do you compromise? Your pills.

Although prescription drugs only account for 10% of healthcare costs in the United States it seems this is certainly an area Americans are willing to compromise on when it comes to their budget. Skip a pill here and there, keep the pain meds and drop the cholesterol ones -- potentially dangerous moves. Certainly agonizing for many too.

I am not the only one asking this: How is it again that the United States is the only developed without a national health care policy?
