I wonder…if you didn’t have a prescription card in hand to bring the costs down to pennies on the dollar, would you be more inclined to look for wellness options or would you do whatever it takes to find the money to buy pills that don’t cure anything at all?
Join the wellness movement! We’re doing just fine with a natural approach to health and wellness and it’s costing us a fraction of what you’re paying in dollars for your no cure approach. After all, if natural healing is all nonsense; the entire human race would have died off long before prescription medicines were ever even imagined. Hmm…
