What's the deal with Montel's "Partnership for Prescription Assistance"?

[Stinky The Clown]

I'm thinking its a big PR stunt by Big Pharma.

They give away free meds to a few hundred thousand, or even a few million, poor people. They can then crow about their magnanimity from the highest tree. At the same time, they're charging obscene amounts to insurance companies and the government. And for that, we **all** pay. While Pharma continues to rake it in in ways that would make Big Oil blush.
