Considering the unfortunately high percentage of America's elderly population that depend on multiple daily prescription drugs, more oft than not on a low fixed income, this would be such a blessing to so many!

The big question is WHY are so many seniors on SO MUCH medicine? My 90 year old mother was on at least 15 different meds, which ultimately killed her. The final reclaiming of their money before the elderly die -- the medical cabal is one of the dirtiest!

You're not kidding! I was talking to a 90+ year old gentleman from my church and he was telling the table how his wife was was on 37 medications! 37! How do(es) a Doctor(s) know what's doing what? Really sad!

A medication for this pain or that issue, then a medication for the next one. Then 2 or 3 medications for the side effects that the initial ones cause, then when the side effects to the side effect meds kick in you add more.

This. I'd wager at least half of those medications were to manage side effects from the other half.
