Hope everything goes well with the moving!

Thanks, GoGo2!

I have a feeling that there would be a reason that this would not be possible in today's US. I actually don't know what's going on behind the scenes, in this respect, but it is surely related to the insurance stuff and maybe even a different set up regarding pharmacies and $$$. I will say that there are some Czech pharmacies that charge a little bit more than others, but it's almost laughable the amount more. We're talking like the equivalent of $2 or so. Not the huge differences in the US. Actually, very often you don't pay any co-pay at all for some meds. The ones you do generally don't require more than $20 at the very very worst.
