Gary thinks we’re “way over-prescribed.” As he put it, “Too much medicines and pharmaceutical costs are skyrocketing.” He’s been a retiree for the past eleven years and initially his health coverage was good. But premiums have steadily increased over the years so that by now more than two-thirds of his retirement income goes towards health insurance. I asked Gary if I could take his picture, to which he replied, “Sure, why not? They can't punish me anymore.”
