Cut pills in half and disregard expiration dates

United Healthcare is trying to get its customers to cut their pills in half. Pill prescriptions that are 10 mg or 20 mg generally cost the same amount. So, if you have a 10 mg prescription, you can instantly cut your drug costs in half if you purchase the 20 mg pills and chop them in half. It's like getting twice the bang for your buck. Some drug stores even have devices that will split the pill in half. Another way to save money in the drug market is to continue to use expired drugs. The expiration dates on drugs are really just made up dates. The military saved lots of money by testing tons of expired drugs and finding out they were still effective. Medications used up to 5 years after their expiration dates retain 90 percent of their potency. Clark wants you to save money in the drug market.

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
