You take meds, insurance refuses you.
And yes, it is obvious the list of meds will grow and grow and grow.
But
Big Pharma is saturating media with all their ads about all their pills, for every imaginable ailment,
and even calls your doctor a "presciber" ( "see your presciber for more information")
thus making huge profits for wildly overpriced drugs ( for now).
so that the number of people, including children, who are being often needlessly put on medications
continues to grow.
So insurance companies raise premiums because their pool of insured is growing smaller, yet they don't pay out on anything without a lawsuit, thus making huge profits ( for now).

You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin a sheep once.
