Ironically, Walmart has done more in the last year to provide lesser expensive generic prescriptions than the boondoggle Republican Medicare Prescription Bill.

Walmart now provides many $4-per-month generics in many states. But the boondoggle mandatory Prescription Bill insurance has co-pays at $5 and up and only for 'preferred generics' [that's a list the insurer determined to cover, not all generics].

It will be interesting to see whether other major drug chains (Walgreens, etc.) lower their generic drug prices to compete with the Big W.

I use CVS and they will match the $4 price of Walmart. You have to ask as they don't advertize it.

Ironically, a friend gets one medicine that is on Wal-Mart's list for $4 but he has to pay $8 through Veteran's Administration. There may be lots of price changes.
