In otherwords, you thought the insurance company would cover that $4.00? Or am I reading this wrong?

Though I am not on any prescriptions, so I am unsure, if Wal-Mart is providing these prescriptions at $4.00, wouldn't that still be cheaper then what you pay now, even with the cost of Insurance?

I think the whole reason for this with Wal-Mart was for the people that didn't have insurance in the first place, this would help them.

I can be wrong, however, I don't think I am. And of course the insurance companies wouldn't cover them, how could they? You'd be walking out of the store with them for free, and I hate to say this, but whatever in this world is free anymore?

Truthfully,$4.00 sounds alot better to me then say,$10.00.

However, If I am wrong, please correct me.

I thought a certain list of drugs would be $4.00. Is that one month or ongoing for awhile? I had to get a list for my flexible spending account of what I bought one month last summer with the prescription card that comes with the account. My total was $54.61. The total without insurance was $323.00 for those three drugs. I would love to pay $4 for the scripts I take. I wouldn't mind at all if insurance didn't pay for the $4.00

My perscription coverage costs me $42.13 per month. My perscriptions cost me $20.00 for one and $0.00 for the other. I only take 2 perscriptions. The final cost for 90 days is 126.39 for my perscription coverage and $20.00 co-pay per month for a total of $60.00 for 90 days. for a grand total for 90 days together is $186.39.
With the $4.00 at Wallmart per perscriptions times 2 =$8.00 for 30 days for a grand total of $24.00 for 90 days. A savings of $162.39 over a 90 day period.

Now the perscription drug company is raising my coverage in 2007 to $46.30 per month and my perscription to a $65.00 co-pay for a total of $111.30 for 30 days with a grand total of $333.90 for 90 days. Now I will have a savings of $309.90 over a 90 day period at Wallmart.

Imagine how wondeful Wallmarts program is for the senior citizen of which I am one.

Thank God for Wallmart.

This is for Emily.

This may come as a suprise to you, but most people that have real and serious medical conditions require a lot of expensive medications. Most of them can barely manage there lives let alone try to spell correctly for people like you who have probably had nothing more serious than "toxic shock syndrome".

P.S. My friend Tony wants to know if your Stupid?

Hi,
I am disabled due to Oxygen use and other things, but will not be eligable for Medicare until December. My Cobra ran out in Feb and I have had to stop taking some of my meds because I just couldn't afford them. I would like a list of the meds you have on this program. It sure would help me.
Thanks.

[Msmary]

Is this for people that have NO health insurance or very little health insurance? A friend of mine is taking numerous meds and Would appreciate the help.
Thanks for letting me know.

[Msmary]

It's not covered in my state so Never mind, being dumb on a rainy sunday.

Also for those people that can't get the prescription for $4 at WM and you are not eligible for state assistance, there is a store called the consumer prescription center that will fill the prescriptions for half the price that other pharamacies will charge you for it.
