Who gets the meds this month?
by Angel Gober—Pennsylvania
This story speaks for itself, and unfortunately, is probably all too true for lots of people across the country. I spoke with an elderly couple who suffer from a variety of health problems that require (insanely expensive, increasingly costly) medication. Because prescription drugs are so expensive, they have to choose, each month, who can get the medicine. They can’t afford to buy the medication they both need to treat their conditions, so every month they must decide whose problem is more severe. They told me of how they are forced to argue each month about “who gets the meds this month?” This couple should not have to go through this in this country. They are senior citizens! They have already paid their dues to this country. When will this country repay their hard work and sacrifice?
