Let's face it. All pharmaceutical companies are greedy thieves. Probably the creators of the medicines have good intentions, but the marketers only care about profits. They don't give a damn if someone can afford their products or not.They keep the prices as high as possible. And the worst offenders are the makers of optical products, like the ubiquitous Bausch & Lomb. Eye drops are the most overpriced products of all. For a long time my eye doctor has given me samples. But today I had to fill a prescription at Walgreens. The tiny bottle which is only good for a month was $130.00! I was supposed to feel grateful because the actual price for this minute quality of "miracle" liquid is $530.00. Fortunately I can afford this. Most people can't, and since so many in need of these product are elderly like me (79) I can only assume the manufacturer's attitude is "pay up or go blind."
