$4.00 For 30 Days From Wally World

[Chuck75]

Now tell me how the VA can justify selling drugs for $8.00 copay.

Wal Mar says that they make a profit on the $4.00 drugs, and that they are not loss leaders.

Congress authorized "Co-Pay" not that the Veteran had to pay the full cost or more for a drug. Co-pay implies that the veteran is paying for part of the cost of the drug.

Wal Mart just announced new additions to it's $4.00 drug list--

Looking at the list--

Loratadine 10 mg

Metformin

Multiple common antibiotics

Lovastatin

Pravastatin

Carvedilol

Ranitidine

Isosorbide Mono

Lisinopril

Nitroglycerin

Note Not available in the following states CA,CO,HI,MN,PA,TN,WI,WY,ND

Some states have price controls making the drugs HIGHER.

WallyWorld is taking on the pharmacy stores the same way they take on Mom and Pops in small towns but this is in the big cities. Its actually a good thing for poor people with no insurance.

I just got a letter from the VA informing me that Ramipril, (Altace), will be replaced by Lisinopril. I have been paying $8/month to the VA. W_mart is charging $4 for the same med. I find it amazing that W_mart can undercut the VA.
