Health Insurance

Maximum GREED. Not to long ago a treatment of erythromycin (40 tablets) cost maybe $5.00 I couldn't believe it when a pharmacist recently told me the same today costs $400.00. He was amazed also. This antibiotic has been around for decades so why the huge increase. Seems there was about to be restraints placed on Pharma's. So they beat the rush by increasing the prices soon to beat the constraints.

I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic.
