[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 322679, member: 735"] Got some sun the other day then wondered how much I might have harmed myself with the ozone hole over North America....so I did some research.

I am also a physician, board-certified, and work as an Emergency Physician. These “MDI’s” or “metered dose inhalers were literally dirt cheap ($10-12) for many years, just as you say. The medication (albuterol) is readily available as a generic and has been around for 35 years. Now, even the cheapest of these MDI’s are $60-80. People on Medicaid pay zero. People with Blue Cross pay $10-15. People with NO insurance pay the FULL PRICE. A couple of times per month I hospitalize and occasionally have to intubate a patient who is “non compliant” with his/her asthma medication, because they cannot afford it. Al Gore, and the idiots who misguidedly follow him, should be forced to spend a Friday and Saturday night in my ER. ____________________________ In the endeavor to be balanced here is some good alarmism from very reputable science mags.
