I am 80 .
My blood pressure is still about 125/80 , and my total cholesterol at the time I stopped seeing him was under 200 , yet every checkup he insisted I should take Statins .
I still take zero prescriptions , and feel fine .
My neighbor goes to the same MD , takes meds as prescribed , and has been virtually bankrupted by the system . He plans to sell his home next year and move into elderly apartments downtown where HUD will pay most of his rent .
