Are Americans REALLY that sick?

Mike, another wrinkle is that you are might be seeing a different set of commercials than a younger guy across the street, assuming you are both on cable or satellite. Addressable advertising is a big thing these days. A set of ads can be targeted based on age or other factors the provider knows. Some systems also leverage browsing history and cell phone use, especially if a household is getting all its telecom from a single provider.

Explains why all my commercials are Medicare, Funeral homes, pharma, retirement. I never get commercials for Hot Chicks dating sites.

Knot Quiet, but that goes back to my original question--are we really that sick, or is the pharma industry just trying to get every last nickel out of every last pocket?

In other words, are they generating solutions to non-existent problems?

Yes, yes, and yes.
