7. How much of your income do you pay in taxes? You pay--you just don't pay at
point of sale. And if you're not rich, or middle class, someone rich pays a bit for you.

He must suspect you have an issue if he's testing you for this, that and the other, when all you wanted was a question about a medication and a refill? Are your meds rough on your liver?

We'll find out how much it will cost people when we have a decent health care plan.

That wouldn't cost me much. A small co-pay. But I have 'government' insurance.
