Colorado Mass-Murder Linked to Prescription Drug Use | Health Impact News
Ya, but not to many MSM shills talking of it.
What we really need is more prescription drug dependency...that will
calm the masses, but good luck when the insurance cancels and no more
access to the daily Prozac, that's when the fun really begins.
Some stats from 2008 on prescription drugs.
Over the last 10 years, the percentage of Americans who took at least
one prescription drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%. The
use of two or more drugs increased from 25% to 31%. The use of five or
more drugs increased from 6% to 11%.
In 2007-2008, 1 out of every 5 children and 9 out of 10 older Americans
reported using at least one prescription drug in the past month.
Those who were without a regular place for health care, health
insurance, or prescription drug benefit had less prescription drug use
compared with those who had these benefits.
The most commonly used types of drugs included: asthma medicines for
children, central nervous system stimulants for adolescents,
antidepressants for middle-aged adults, and cholesterol lowering drugs
for older Americans.
In the United States, spending for prescription drugs was $234.1
billion in 2008, which was more than double what was spent in 1999
