Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Dear Margot, I had seen that report on drug costs before and as of late, could not find my copy, thanks for re-posting it for everyone. Not all drug stores charge you through the wazu. My daughter in law is a manager/ accountant of a privately owned drug store and she told me the drug companies (especially in Plan D), puts the squeeze on the little drug stores to lower the prices to the insurance companies, so the insurance companies can make more money. She said by the time they put them through the wringer, their profit on generic drugs averages to about $2. WalMart and Rite-Aid charge $4 for most of their generic drugs, so it pays to shop around. Maybe we should be asking AARP they they didn't fight for us by getting Congress to barter with the same drug companies, the same as the VA does for their patients. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. We did. Blessings and peace, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
