The way things are, many people already are facing that reality. The drugs are there, they just can't afford them. Have you ever been laid off and lost your health insurance? Yes COBRA benefits are available, but how many people can afford many hundreds of dollars a month after losing their job?

Everyday many people have to make that decision. Pay their bills or buy their prescriptions.
