Default "medication"

Just want to bring this up again, and ask the question, why, in OUR U.S.A. is crack, heroin, meth, and coke cheaper than insulin, or cancer treatments, or asthma medication? Why does it feel as if our government has forgotten about us. Why do they still call it a war on drugs? Why do they still give breaks to big pharmacutical companies? Why can you go into Mexico or Canada and get the same medications for a tenth of the cost here in the U.S.? I guarantee that if the Mexicans were smuggeling in prescription medications insted of coke, that wall would've been built 20 years ago, with armed guards every 400 yards.

You make a good point .... and sumthin' tells me the current health care "reform" ain't gonna do much to help the situation.

Yeah, and wait for those fines for not providing expensive insurance for all those workers you couldn't afford to insure, even BEFORE the utilities, taxes and premiums go up. Yeah, THAT'S gonna be fun.
