Message	People don't REALLY care what the price is, because they have this magic thing called "insurance". If drugs (and the entire medical industry) was priced so middle class people could pay it out of pocket (obviously non catastrophic / emergency) people would really push back when prices went up, unlike you see today. It is insurace companies that ENABLE the Pharm comanies to set prices so high. Come on Kenny you (or your programming) are smarter than that simple line of reasoning you are trying to feed me above. Yes, liabilities play a (small) part of the increase that is undeniable, but the insurance model in practice today has enabled the incredibled the gross profits seen in hospitals and the pharm companies all over the country. m a g l i t o parts are FINALLY here - engine is going back together NOW sig photo by me effects by ZXRider(SoCal) click here for latest build update post
