I am outraged at the Pharmaceutical Companies escalating drug costs that are so high, that many of the elderly and poor and now the middle class must choose their drug perscription over purchasing food. My own parents are barely able to afford their medicines because of the continued rising costs. Something must be done. Too many of the drug companies have gotten too fat and too greedy and have squashed too many little people. Maybe the Pharmaceutial companies are lining too many political pockets to get what they want. We only have the FDA to look out for the people of our country, the USA. Lets start looking out for our citizens and shape up the corrupt system that takes advantage of the poor and middle class. Sincerely. USA Citizen
