Prescription drugs are again becoming a hot topic of conversation. Particularly when it comes to Medicare's Part "D".

Have you seen the price of prescription drugs lately?

It's astronomical!

If you suffer from some sort of condition, you can go broke just trying to stay healthy. Many senior citizens today who worked hard all their lives, contributed to our society, paid taxes, defended our country, and chipped in to the insurance pool at work, now find themselves on an island.

Many have found once their jobs are gone, so were the benefits. Many of our greatest generation and others just a bit younger find themselves ordering their medication and dealing with a fixed monthly income at the same time.

They buy over the internet. They sneak it across the Mexican border and the Canadian border.

These are your neighbors, your family members, good citizens all and they are having a tough time meeting the demands of being elderly, taking care of each other and trying to attain or keep a quality of life that they have earned and deserve.

Who can we turn to so this nagging dilemma can be investigated and investigated right away. This wrong must be made right!

And Congress... no more party line that the lobbyists for the pharmaceutical companies throw out citing the high costs of research and development. That won't cut it anymore. No --- we're all for free enterprise, for growth, for opportunity, but not at the expense of our citizens, especially the elderly, the infirmed and the needy.

We want to hear what you have to say...
