I haven't been able to determine if my blood pressure med is made in China, but I noticed a HUGE difference in price when I renewed it this week.

I get a 3-month supply. In the past it was $26. When I refilled the prescription the price was $60 !!!!!

Yup, Sr. Citizen, fixed income, and my property taxes are going up again next year. There is just no way to stop this inflationary cycle.
