as a senior on medicare + medicare part D (Rx coverage) one pays more for a Rx.

Many insurance companies have not as yet included the new rates for the lipitor generic, hence the pharmacies charge the same until May/June when the price is supposed (SUPPOSED) to come down like most generics. What is suspected is the pharmacy gets the generic at generic pricing and until such time as the formularies are changed they charge the same. So the pharmacy makes out until the formularies are changed.

Pharmaceuticals like oil are controlled and supported by politicians (including Obama) hence the only ones who make out are the pharmaceutical and oil companies and the politicians they buy out (which is all of them).

Until that changes affordable health care is nothing more than WORDS.
