Montel to Help With Prescriptions, Determine Your Baby Daddy
Drug companies are the best!

Ya know who's great? Drug companies! I mean, they wouldn't research or promote a cure for cancer if it meant they couldn't patent it, but look at all the good things they're doing. At no small expense, they've hired talk-show host Montel Williams to tell you just how great they are. Montel, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, and their Here to Help Express are pulling into the capital Feb. 20 in a rally big-upping the benevolent drug dealers. If you're lucky, they might give you the first one free - so why should Medicare bother negotiating with them for lower prices?
I mean, when Montel was battling MS, I'm sure he didn't even need health insurance - just an astroturfed PR effort!
