Wal-mart Drugs At 50% Less Than Va Provided Drugs

[Guest rickb54]

WAL-MART OFFERS MEDICATION AT $4.00

( 50% less than the VA Provides it us US Veterans ! )

Why is it that a corporate entity can provide the same medical drugs for 50% less to the general public than the Veterans Administration can to American Military veterans ? Why is it that a corporate entity can drastically reduce the cost of prescription medicine while the Veteran Administration drastically increases the cost of that very same medication by over 400% in less than 6 years to their military veterans ?

here is a PDF list of drugs that are available:

You asked how WalMart can sell drugs at $4 a pop?

First of all, WalMart is the largest "buyer" of anything that they happen to sell. Suppliers pray for the day that WalMart starts selling the goods that the supplier produces. A lot of suppliers will sell, at a loss, certain goods that they produce just to get their OTHER goods on the shelf at WalMart. And, then, WalMart will also sell certain items as "loss leaders" to get the buying public, the customers, in the door at your local WallyWorld.

I dare say that WalMart buys at least twice the amount of the drugs that they are selling for $4 than does the VA.

I'll take that dare... because right now the VA gives away more drugs to deserving veterans than any other medical supplier.... and that doesn't even take into consider the drugs that vets have to pay a copay for...

Wal-Mart will never sell(or give away) anything close to the volume of drugs the va hands out. That is unless the va gets out of the business, which it looks like they are trying to do thanks to wal-mart.

For that matter I think the Military also gives out more drugs than wal-mart could ever sell.
