Drugs are not a part of healthcare?

1) You have no children and I seriously doubt the prospects for that to change any time soon, commander.
2) They've been paying into the system since before you were fuckin' born ... THAT'S WHY!

Yeah, they're rolling in the dough. Most are on a fixed income genius. Where do you get your stats from anyway?

Yeah ... are you old or disabled? Strike that. I forgot about the hives thing. Do you even know how overpriced that medication is?! People from around Michigan go to Canada to pay for drugs on their own dime because it's cheaper than drugs here WITH insurance. Maybe, if nothing else, the government should start enforcing a cap on the amount they can charge for medication her in the U.S. and, subsequently, any meds the government does pay for would be nominal.

If you think of like having a car under warranty, yes. They paid the warranty and, at the very least, the "oil change" senior citizens get should be at a reduced price.
P.S. You know what, Vince. You're constantly spouting off about how proud you are of the veterans of the armed services and what they did for our country but when it comes down to paying tribute to them (people that served in WWII would be roughly in their 80's nowadays) it's just so much lip service.
