Even the pharmacists who make their living off prescription drugs are beginning to complain about the outrageous prices. In this dailypress.com article, a pharmacist complains, "We always hear that research is the reason medicines cost so much. But how do drug companies explain the high cost of really old drugs like Thalomid, which costs thousands of dollars for a month's supply?"

"What a mess this is for all of us. The government is always talking about lower costs for seniors, but it nitpicks the reimbursement to pharmacies. This makes it appear that the pharmacies are gouging our customers instead of the drug companies. What can we do?"
