Prescription co-pays denting seniors' ability to get medications

Higher co-pays for prescription medications are causing some seniors to have almost 15 percent less of them that those who have a flat or stable co-pay for their medications.

A new report concluded this past week reported this, and it presents an interesting dilemma for many older patients: should some prescriptions be skipped due to higher cost or face the possible health consequences of that action?

Prescription medication prices have always been one of the most marked-up items in the history of modern commerce, and there are no signs of the slowing down of rising prices. The only solution (at least, partially) is to take charge of your own health as much as possible by eating right and exercising. Those two facets alone are incredibly important, yes?
