Rising drug costs are a big concern for most Americans - especially those on a fixed income. Can you imagine having to make a choice between your medication and eating? Or keeping your electric on? Or putting gas in your card? No wonder so many Americans are turning to Canadian drug stores to lower their prescription medication costs. If you don’t have insurance, you’re paying a lot more than you need to. Some stores have lowered their costs on generic drugs, but you can’t always choose generic. A prescription drug card may be a big help for some - it’s free, and can be used at over 50,000 US pharmacies to get discounts up of to 75% on any FDA approved drug. Unlike a prescription drug plan through your insurance company, you won’t have to pay any deductible, and your savings are instant - no waiting periods.
I’m curious to see if we can get a better rate using that card for our medication, as compared to our insurance plan. Right now we pay a big upfront deductible and if you don’t get medications monthly, you really don’t see any savings.
