    Thanks OP I agree that we pay way too much for medication and that those in Washington should be working to bring down our health care costs

    I would add that the primary reason is that the same pharmaceuticals are more expensive very often considerably more expensive than they are in virtually every other country.

    To the revelation that the US is the most medicated nation in history the concern is that we’re paying too much for the drugs ?

    Points to the fatal flaw of our primitive healthcare system.

    No evidence that we’re eating ourselves to death or dying from being fat. And this has been banged about for years on Too Hot.

    Knock yourself out on drugs. But prices don’t appear to have put a dent in our most medicated nation in history status.
