I believe this is an election year scam, and America's senior citizens are going to be so confused. They are not going to know what choices to make, and we are doing it because an election is coming up in November and we want to present to our senior citizens that we are actually doing something meaningful when the drug companies are telling us that they expect their drugs to be increased by about 18 percent this year and these discount cards are likely to provide much less in discounts than that. So seniors are going to end up paying more even with these discount cards than they have been paying.
