Yep.

I used to work in a county hospital. We had the same $2 co-pay for the therapy department; for $5 you could get all your prescriptions.

Same thing. While they couldn't muster up $5 for a sack full of medicine, there was somehow enough money for every single person in the family to have a cell phone. Go figure.
