Walgreen Co said on Monday it will provide a month´s supply of certain prescriptions at no upfront cost to U.S. participants who have not yet received a plan identification number under President Barack Obama´s signature healthcare law. The offering comes as U.S. government officials struggle to roll out the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Myriad enrollment problems have dogged the site´s website, HealthCare.gov, since its October launch and many insurance companies have said they are not getting accurate enrollee information to be able to process required forms.

I think the key words here are “no up-front cost”.

My guess is if they ever get their hands on a policy number, they will back bill. If not, then they will write them off somehow and take whatever tax benefit they can from it.

This reminds me, I need to get some more snacks, maybe some garlic chips, more extra butter popcorn, some tasty juice and plenty of bottled water.
Yeah I need some refreshments while I stand far and away from the Obamacare train wreck.
Yet i want a vantage point to see car after car careening into others, cargo, axles and track flying all over the place.

Nope, never even visited the Ocare website, have absolutely no plans to ever ever even think about buying any kind of health insurance, and I am laughing my ass off at those dim wits that have fallen for the the lies, the promises and are about to truly find out what they are in for, the Feds taking all their wages and they will get nothing but a few pills from automated dispensers or a number to wait in line until their case is reviewed, SUCKERS!

But Walgreens dropped Tricare. I guess they don’t want to serve military and retires but are fine with Obamacare.

“And what was Walgreens promised in return?”

That within 5 years they will be known as “Government Drugs”.

” - - - Free drugs! Get ‘em while supplies last! - - - “

Yup, no need to worry, you sorry “bunch of folks,” the infinite supply of “free” drugs will last as long as Obama is willing to spend your tax dollars to reimburse crafty old Walgreens for their “investment”
in Obama Socialized Health Insurance Tax, or OSHIT.

Impeach Obama, Period.
