I just got off the phone with a dear friend of mine who is the head pharmacist at Walgreens for over 20 years (he's at work now) and I read him this post by the OP. The minute I read it, of course you're going to blame Obama.
He clearly said, and most of you should know this, is that "all of a sudden, recently.." the price of something so simple as 250mg Erythromycin skyrocketed as well as all other medicines and he said it's the industry itself.
Is this repercussive to the Affordable Care Act? Maybe so, but remember... ---> Romney ran his own Obamacare. I.e., Romneycare. And most candidates knew that healthcare had to be reformed. Shit, Hillary tried this back in the Clinton days, remember?
The first step to anything great is always birth pangs. It's a step in the right direction. Healthcare was out of control. It had to be stemmed. I know. It almost bankrupted me over 11 years.
These speed bumps will mellow out. It was never really about scripts, it was about the fucking doctors that charge STUPID FUCKING amounts of money just to sit there and write these scripts and CAT scans that cost a fucking Ferrari to pay for.
Give it some time. We are finally on the way to a different (kind of) system, and things will be shaken up. This is a basic understanding of physics. Or, to make it simple for some of you morons, it's like throwing a HUGE rock the size of a Cadillac into a lake, and not just a pebble every once-in-a while. Shit's gonna get shaken up while the ripples subside.
.
Or move to Canada or Cyprus like everyone else in this fucking industry.
