Toon: New Statin Guidelines

3. Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

I downloaded their spreadsheet to calculate whether you need statins. After I figured my score, being a geek, I played around with the spreadsheet to see who it said needs or doesn't need statins. Basically it says if you're male, over 65, and not Batman, you need statins. Since most people over 65 are on Medicare, and since the government forbids the government to negotiate drug prices, this new scheme basically says that Medicare should give Big Pharma whatever Big Pharma wants to charge for every senior in the country.

It's a scam.
