I was in line at a big box store when I heard an elderly couple talking about the high cost of prescription medication and how they have to cut down on food to pay for their medication.
It's a shame older Americans who paid their dues have to live that way in the richest country in the world.

The recent news item citing the achievements of Obamacare was just lovely, and very revealing in what it didn't say.

Last month was Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month in
Pulmonary fibrosis is a rare, progressive lung disease that creates scarring in the lungs. The scar tissue builds up in the walls of the air sacs of the lungs, and eventually the scar tissue makes it hard for oxygen to get into your blood. Low oxygen levels (and the stiff scar tissue itself) can cause people to feel short of breath, particularly when walking and exercising. There is currently no treatment or cure for this terminal disease.
An estimated 40,000 people die each year from pulmonary fibrosis - approximately the same number who die annually from breast cancer. And there are about 48,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Although pulmonary fibrosis typically affects more men than women ages 50 to 70, it can affect anyone. The life expectancy for those living with this disease is typically three to five years from diagnosis. People living with PF literally suffocate to death. I know because I watched my mother pass away from this disease in 2011, and now I am living with this same disease.
Please pay close attention to your body and how you feel. Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis may include a dry hacking cough, heaviness in the chest, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath (walking, talking and even while eating), dizziness, clubbing of fingertips (thickening of the flesh under the fingernails, causing the nails to curve downward) and loss of appetite.
If you experience any of these symptoms for an extended period of time, you just can't shake that cough, please see your doctor.
