Almost everything is outrageously expensive in the 'independent' Irih state these days, but these prespribtion drugs must be unafordable to many who need them. Many of us - probably most - may soon have to pay more for medicine here in the U.S. when Obamacare becomes fully effective. Fortunately, I receive nearly all my prescriptions thru the Veterans Administration for a small co-payment.
