AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, said brand-name drug prices have climbed 3.4 percent -- or three times the rate of inflation -- since December.
The jump was one of the sharpest quarterly spikes since 2000, the report said.
The findings follow another AARP report this year that showed prices for drugs used most by the elderly grew 6.9 percent in 2003. But the increase since President Bush (news - web sites) signed the Medicare bill into law was even sharper, the AARP said on Wednesday.
Let's be sure and cut taxes even more to pay for the built in price guarantees for drug companies.

Yeah, the whole Medicare prescription drug fix is a complete joke.
First of all, drug companies average about 3x the profit of your average Fortune 500 company. Secondly, they waste billions of dollars on advertising. Third, they spend billions of dollars to research drugs... except much of the research are for things that get your **** hard. Finally, they have carte blanc to set their prices in the US much higher because they don't have to worry about price controls as long as the current Medicare system is in effect.
We should get rid of the market based approach to prescription drugs and implement price controls now. We'd end up saving billions...

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machin ery of night.
