The real drug addicts in America today aren’t out on the street begging for spare change; they’re driving their children to soccer games, working in corporate offices, playing bingo in nursing homes, and attending church services weekly. Regular, everyday citizens, it turns out, are consuming more pharmaceuticals than ever, according to a new analysis, with a shocking 600,000 Americans each consuming the equivalent of $50,000 worth of drug pills annually.
An Express Scripts report entitled Super Spending: U.S. Trends in High-Cost Medication Use found that an estimated 576,000 Americans spent more than the media household income last year on legalized drugs. Everything from pain pills to psychiatric medications to cancer poisons make up what the report found to represent a 63 percent increase in pharmaceutical drug use compared to 2013 figures.
