From The Colbert Report files: Here is Stephen Colbert’s hilarious take on a New York Times story about doctors who are giving ADHD drugs to poor children who don’t have ADHD simply to help them focus better in school. Michael Anderson, a pediatrician who treats children from poor families in Cherokee County, north of Atlanta, is quoted in the article as saying, “I don’t have a whole lot of choice. We’ve decided as a society that it’s too expensive to modify the kid’s environment. So we have to modify the kid.”
