Thinking I may lose my mind today..oops to late its already gone!
Mail order drug company calls Monday and tell me that the name brand is NOT avalible, but they can send generic, I tell them we get generic all the time. then they call on Thursday to say one med is not available in generic until the 30th (have enough until next tu...esday) but, they can send name brand. Generic is $25.00 for 3 month supply, name brand is $3,178.06 for 3 month supply, do you want us to send it? Not NO but, Hell NO. Have to call the Doctor and get them to phone it in to the drug store to get generic.

We had friends' parents several years ago who went to Mexico like 4 times a year to buy drugs for themselves and friends. Same containers, same everything, could not bleieve how much money they saved. Drug companies are making a fortune on anyone with chronic problems needing drugs or supplies.
