Price rise of generic drugs.

This is another case of Americans sticking it to fellow Americans. FELLOW Americans. This is just one reason why America is not a civilized country. The constant taking advantage of situations that are unwarranted. For example(s). When you drive to a poor section of town, the price of gas is sometimes as high as 30-40c/gal higher. When you are driving along the interstate, the price of gas is 30 or more cents/gas higher. This is about something different and more disturbing. The generic drug companies are laying people over the fence and sticking it to them. Bad enough that mainline drug companies do this, but this is suppose to be generic. I refer you to the recent AARP magazine article. It is enough to make you want to vomit.
