I don't order meds online.

I use the Rx programs offered by Walmart, Kmart, and several other pharmacies and a couple of grocery stores in my area.

Most have a list of Rx's that are only $4 for a month's supply and one grocery chain, Publix, offers free generic antibiotics.

I have insurance but such a high deductible it's worthless ($3000.00).

When my insurance changed to this high deducticle HSA plan, I went my doctors and asked them to switch me to Rx's I could get inexpensively; they knew what to do, pulled a list of the Walmart $4 Rx's right out when I asked.

Unfortunately one Rx is Creon 10, which I should be taking at every meal but is $201 a month ("Only $543.16 for a 90-day supply of you use the mail in!"). There is no way I can afford that and there is no generic or subtitute.

I recently saw a news program on TV where they talked about how easy it is to order meds online AND without a prescription (Xanax was the one they used as an example).

P.S. This election consider Health Care when voting.
