Hypochondriac demographic

I've just watched the evening news. All of the comercials were about meds. I think I had better ask my doctor which medication is right for me.

Do drug companies really need to advertise? Are they going after the hypochondriac demographic? Do only people who are old and sick watch the news? Does anyone go to the doctor to ask to be put on medication?

I wonder how much money a spot on the evening news every night costs? I think the drug companies should stop paying millions in advertising and pass on that cost savings to seniors and others who need these drugs the most.
