This is Rush Limbaugh bullshit. Most working people are able to work, and
old people are not. THAT is what makes it moral. The ones who have money don't
need to be subsidized. The ones that don't do.

Taxpayer subsidies are for the Drug companies. The sick elderly are the excuse
for wealth transfer from the middle-class to the corporate rich.

As well they should be. These fuckers are gouging everybody. They don't
deserve to exist as a PRIVATE enterprise. Human health and survival drugs
ARE NOT FUCKING COMMODITIES.
All health care and related concerns should be removed from the " market."
All drugs should be manufactured by government production facilities, and
distributed as cheaply as possible.
Capitalism Kills.
