Wal-Mart's $4 generic drug price
-
Way to go Wal-Mart. :cool: Right now I pay $15 at Walgreens for the co-pay. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) announced that starting today it is rolling out its $4 generic prescription program in 12 additional states. With the announcement, the $4 generic prescription program will be now be available in an additional 1,008 stores throughout Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Dakota and Virginia. The program, launched in 1,499 pharmacies in 15 states during the past month, was originally slated to launch in as many states as possible outside of Florida as early as January 2007, but customer demand led the company to accelerate the launch. “No American should have to cut pills in half, decide between taking medicine and putting food on the table, or go without medicines altogether,” said Wal-Mart President and CEO Lee Scott. “We are very proud to be leading this effort to make sure our nation’s seniors, working families and uninsured get the medications they need at a price they can afford.” Wal-Mart adds 12 states to $4 generic drug plan; total now 27[^] Target says it will match Wal-Mart's $4 generic drug price[^]

A good move on Walmart's part and Target's following proves that competition works in favor of consumers.

it's nice to see that at least WalMart has the balls to stand up and demand low drug prices for its customers. too bad our own government won't do it.

Now if we could just get more people to take care of themselves and not need so many drugs in the first place.

I guess when you see all the pharmacies in town dry up and you need a little extra help with your medication, you will find it at Walmart, not! Before you know it every pill you take will be made in China by someone getting paid $0.12 per hour who works 12-14 hours per day. Makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over :)

It's those same people that don't really understand economics either. Wal-Mart did was most didn't, and they did it very well. People complain Wal-Mart put stores out of business, so they're evil. And, yet (here on CP at least) they love MS. Like, MS never did the same. Yeah, you never step on a head or two when climbing to the top. This just another example of two-faced prejudices coming into play.

Wishful thinking my man. I dunno why, but most people are just too lazy to do this.
