Check Out How Much Our Pharmaceutical Companies Are Ripping Us Off For.......

[global1]

In my mail drop today I received a mailing from Global Pharmacy Canada. This company deals exclusively in generic medications from India's world renown drug manufacturers (per their mailing). They are touting savings of up to 80% if you buy through them.

Here is their website: http://www.globalpharmacycanada.com/ (NOTE: I'm not endorsing this company - I'm just blown away by how we are getting ripped off in the U.S. by Big Pharma.)

If you click on the letter of the name of the drug you are taking - you can get an idea of the savings.

For grins - check out Abilify 15mg Quantity 100. They indicate that the average price in the U.S. is $1,266 and their price is $186 for the same amount. This is a savings of $1,080.

You've seen the commercial for Boniva - the one Sally Field appears in. Check out this. The U.S. price for a three month supply or 3 Boniva's is $310 and this companies price is $85 - or a $225 savings.

Now granted - I haven't really checked into this company - but it sure looks mighty enticing. How has our government let us get taken in by Big Pharma to the extent that they have? Look how much Big Pharma is into our pockets for. When is enough - enough?

In their mail piece they say the following: "Consider this, the doughnut hole is the gap in coverage between $2,700 and $4,350. That's $1,650 our of your pocket. With us you would only spend around $415.

I'm pissed off today because my Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health Insurance premium was just raised again. I'm now paying over double what I did in 2006.

I'm getting more and more upset every day. How much more are we the American Public going to have to take before we revolt? I getting near my breaking point.
