I am in great health and walk 5 miles a day. I often wonder about these cholesterol numbers.

The zetia website has a coupon that you can print and activate to help pay for your prescription. BUT here's the kicker - it will only work if you have private insurance. It will not work if you are on a Medicare plan or any government insurance plan, nor will it work if you are uninsured. So if you are privately insured for prescriptions this may be helpful.
