Have you noticed lately that lots of places are advertising $4 prescriptions for generic drugs? Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and I think locally, King Soopers have all announced cheap prices for generic meds. I can’t believe how expensive prescription drugs are. I imagine more and more people are taking advantage of those cheap generic drug prices. I’m so thankful that we have health insurance, since lots of people just don’t. It’s expensive too, but…God forbid we ever had a serious injury or illness or something and didn’t have insurance, y’know?
It’s unfortunate that you can’t get generic versions of more medications. My parents both take a variety of medications every day – and when I say “variety,” I really mean, “boatload” – the amount they spend on prescription meds must be insane. I often wonder if it would be a better value for them to take advantage of an online pharmacy to cut out the middle-man and save a few dollars. I was checking out the list of online prescriptions at eDrugstore.md and I noticed that if you fill a prescription through them, you can get a $20 discount on the refill – every single time you refill it. That’s probably a pretty good deal, there – you’re sure not going to run into that at an actual pharmacy with a pharmacist and a staff of pharmacy techs and a long line of angry old people in front of you. I’m not sure of the actual savings, since I don’t even know what my prescriptions cost beyond my co-pay, but I imagine the benefit of having your prescription just sent to you is worth quite a bit.
Just a thought.
