I take 4 medications....plus my little 80mg. aspirin and an acid reducer every day. Ok, with that said, there's something wrong with the costs of medications. One of these medications I get from Walmart for a whole $4 for a 30 day supply. That sounds reasonable....or does it? Ok,lets see some prices on my other medications....retail prices. How does $700 a month sound to ya for 3 medications? Well, I got prescription insurance, so I don't pay that much.....$105 a month. So, with them figures, I pay 15% of the retail price....right??? Somewheres here I see what some might call price gouging by the pharmaceutical industry. Just a thought!!!
Well we have smoke to the south again this morning. There's 2 fires down there ya know. The BIG one burning off to the north has been 38% contained...or so they say. So it looks like a smoky week is in the forecast for another week or so. I really don't mind too much as long as I don't have to wear one them breathing apprentice thingys.
About me just hook'n up, bring'n in the slides and hit'n the raod, I done tole you...I ain't gonna do it till old "pesky" comes home.....or don't, what ever the case. Last update I had was tuesday....or was it wednesday....Wayne is talking but hard to understand. They've moved him to a room out of ICU and by this time he should be in rehab.....across the street. So, I'm just sit'n here, sip'n a cup, do'n a little think'n and enjoy'n life as any other retired old fart would do.
Damn....I need a project.
You said you won't visit him in the hospital. So why not go see him your own self at the rehab place?
ReplyDeletePrescription drugs is one of the biggest rackets in the country, and doctors buy into it.
ReplyDeleteCan't understand Wayne too well, well my wife don't understand what I say either.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you need a project.
ReplyDeleteI have more projects then I can handle but they keep me on my toes and most of the time, a clear mind.

Sounds like u got one,,,named Pesky. Helping him helps you, good for the both of ya. BTW, happy father's day, all u dads.
ReplyDeleteSeems like to me a really good project would be a checker board sitting in Wayne's room. Probably do more for his rehab than just about anything else.
ReplyDelete"Somewheres here I see what some might call price gouging by the pharmaceutical industry."
ReplyDeleteI think the Federal Government should nationalize the industry and then give all medication away FREE. They can give all the drugs that are now illegal away FREE also through that 'now' owned pharmaceutical industry.
A total WIN - WIN - WIN for everyone. Cost, don't worry about no stink' cost, just borrow the money like the Government has been doing to buy everything for the past 50 years.
