Seniors Snub Prescription Plan

That's why the gods created AARP and made the elderly one of the largest voting block in the country.

I don't think they can dick them too badly without a backlash, unless they get these Diebold voting machines in enough places and manage to rig the election.

Besides, the problem would be solved with universal healthcare, which would be less costly for everyone. I know, because I have worked in health insurance, and all the cost is in slaughtering trees to play ping pong with the paperwork.
