Remember the article in the Villages Sun about how much we were going to save on Generic Lipitor??? CVS filled the more expensive generic! I asked the pharmacist about it and he pretty much gave me the blank stare (frankly I don't think he could believe it either). What is going on here?
I'd be stopping at a nearby Walmart and Walgreen store, and having a nice talk with the pharmacists there about prescription costs.
