I'm on the bandwagon this morning concerning prescription prices. Last Saturday I had to go and get 3 prescriptions filled at our local pharmacy. While waiting for the lady to look up the prices on one prescription I was shocked to see what the pharmacy actually pays for the drugs. One of my prescriptions was billed $97.29 to my prescription insurance..........the pharmacy's cost.....................$2.31. They made a $96.98 profit on just that one prescription. Another prescription was billed for $29.76.............the pharmacy's cost......................$.30. They made $29.46 profit.
To me, this is unexcusable. No wonder our insurance premiums are so expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are people who have no insurance to cover prescription drugs affording them? It's just not right and something needs to be done about it.
I better get off this bandwagon before I need another prescription to calm me down.

I highly recommend the prescription discount card that I found at www.rxdrugcard.com. Low membership fees. Drug prices posted.
