Used and abused by the pharmaceutical industry

BRATTLEBORO — Every dime the health care industry spends on themselves and their interests comes from us. Health care costs all of us.

As a recipient of the pharmaceutical companies and suffering from mental illness, I am outraged, as not only is the industry making money off of my illness but it also abuses my treatment.

Let me explain. I am essentially an experiment that is not reimbursed monetarily - as if the side effects are not enough.

Speaking for myself and my peers, we can't afford it and, in fact, we are literally suffering - emotionally, mentally, and monetarily - at the hands of the industry.
