Have you noticed that the CDC just dramatically lowered the accepable LDL levels? Instantly the number of patients who "need" statins has more than doubled.
Figures. Folks are shoveling fast food into their mouths so fast they can't get their statins in edgewise.

I find it incredible that rest-of-life "maintenance" drugs are being prescribed-- why not diet modification instead?

I wonder what percentage of folks with high LDL have it due to genetics vs. lifestyle choices? That would seem to be the addressable market.
