Like many people today, my doctor has suggested a cholesterol drug called Lipitor. I have waited for some time, patiently paying the high cost for the brand name drug, for the generic and less costly alternative to be on the market. It was with some dismay I learned the generic was made by the same people making Lipitor and not much cheaper.
Following the sage advice we give to clients, our own health-plan has a high deductible and prescriptions need to be paid for until the deductible is satisfied. When presented with the $400 bill at the pharmacy, I decided I had had enough. The good news is that after some research, there is a better way for those of you taking Lipitor. Go to this website and register for the program and Lipitor will now cost you $4 per month, www.lipitor.com. You will receive a discount card for Lipitor that can be used at participating pharmacies.
I am a lot happier saving 99% on my prescription costs and I suspect you will be too.
