On the recordJune 12, 2002
If I could just interrupt, I wanted my colleague to reiterate that point again about how many different drugs the average senior takes in the course of the year. I think a lot of the people, particularly younger people, have no idea how things have developed, as my colleague said, over the last 20 or 30 years since Medicare started out. Probably when Medicare started out in the 1960s, it would probably be unusual for a senior to be taking any kind of prescription drug, but now the gentlewoman said the average is 18 different?
