Conversely, as a result of the illnesses imbued by the SAD, the medical and pharm industries, as well as the health insurance industry are making a killing.

Let me tell you something about re-imbursement from pharmaceutical companies. We don't get any. If we do, it's essentially a bribe and it's illegal.

Same with health insurance. They pay us what they want and can either take it or not accept their insurance. We don't have any negotiating power behind that. But on the flip side if we don't accept enough insurance then we can't get any patients. It has go to the point where on a national average primary care offices are only making cost on 40% of their patients. That means the ones with good insurance we have to charge more to pay overhead and salaries.

As far as pharmaceuticals go, can you guess the two most profitable drug types?

2. Cholesterol drugs - probably because the majority of America is on them daily and they're cheap to make
1. ED drugs - because its all cash and men will pay any amount of money to have a boner.
