HEALTHCARE EXPERT SETH DENSON will talk about: 1 IN 10 AMERICANS SKIPPING DOSES AS PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES RISE.

"Climbing a flight of stairs, by the time you get up you're literally huffing and puffing and gasping for air," Perry said. Last summer, Perry lost health insurance coverage and missed a deadline to enroll in Medicare's Part D drug program. She learned her inhaler would jump from a $50 copay to a staggering $1,000 a month.
