Was just on the news here. In 26 states Walmart is offering a $4 prescription program on 150 generic drugs. This is not only for people without insurance. If you have insurance and your co-pay is higher you can opt to do the $4 program. This is good on a 30 supply and must be picked up in person. This is fantastic news. Several of my meds are on there. I am also going to take the list with me to the doctors office and see if they can replace some of the others with those on the list. I thought I would let everyone know. I know others are having trouble affording there meds also.
Here is the link for the Med list.

I swear! now consumers who will have to spend the money anwyas will bargain to other stores, that are willing to price match. but Lori yes, they will be having a incentive program through Walmart now, but doesn't mean it will be cheap. I am sure something will be added in somewhere. Thanks for the links:D
$4 plus whatever tax you pay anyway. I don't normally shop Walmart, but I will go there for $4 on a prescription. I don't have insurance so $4 is a lot cheaper than what I have to pay now. Even when I had insurance my co-pay was $20 for generics. So even someone with insurance can save on there generic drugs if they are on the list. I know co-pays on generics run $5, $10, $15, $20 and even higher.
I wouldn't pick up my prescriptions in a Walmart if they paid me to do it. NOthing is worth compromising my principles. Although, it's true, I have used their restroom upon occasion.
