When prescription prices spike, the general public gets boned as medical carriers impose higher co-pays. These providers must have some negotiated, discounted rates with the drug manufacturers so they aren't paying big bucks; they're just passing along costs to the consumer Just look at the profits the HMO's and other med providers have been reporting for years. The medical professionals who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in themselves and take all the risks of working on whacked out people are getting increasingly less compensation while some jerk-off CEO of a healthcare company gets millions for screwing everybody. Does anybody else see a dangerous trend in this country? Just yesterday the jerk-off oil execs sat smuggly before congress justifying their record shattering profits while they rear-end the public.
