    It is disgusting the way we are controlled. Health should be number one on our list for concern. Cleaning out toxins, getting the right nutrition, and mental health is more important than making someone rich.

    That makes sense eliminate free samples to people who cant afford medication.God forbid a Dr give free samples of something out and if it works try prescribing something similar but less expensive .To some one with no money.
