Major CAUSE of Non-Adherence / Non-Compliance, with Medications, U.S.A. patients, is SOCIO-ECONOMIC. The Very High Cost of Medications,is PROHIBITIVE. We absolutely NEED a Single Payer Health Care System NO System is Perfect.Even our so-called Democracy, has gone down the Drain. Our Current System,WILL KILL The U.S.A. It is NOT Compassionate Care for THE PEOPLE. Pray, May GOD save US & Bless YOU'NZ.
