Wal-Mart expands low cost drug program
Wal-Mart has saved me a lot of money since I need
Hypertension meds on an ongoing basis. I get 3 months
supply for $12! That is LESS than my health insurance
co-pay. Now Wal-Mart will dispense 3 months supply for
$10.

Thank you Wal-Mart!

4. I know what you are saying but....
truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
I am not saying Wal-Mart is a pious entity, just that it has
also done a lot of good for those of us in retirement and
other lower income consumers.

6. probably not worth the risk
the risk of putting out Rxs that dont meet label claims would be an incredibly stupid business practice even for an evil corporation. The generics are cheap to make already

7. Looing back at the recent scandal with a Chinese medicine, I am not a confident in this but you....
make a good point.

Walmart already has its hands full with the lead paint problem with Chinese-made goods, as it is.
