in the case of Lipitor the brand name and the generic are the same price.

The pharmacist said medicare has not yet authorized the generic to be included in insurance coverage formularies yet.

Supposedly the cost of the generic will go down after June 2012. I have no idea why...that is what the pharmacist at Walgreens said.
Your wonderful government at work bogging things we the people need but good for the pharmaceuticals....as usual.
