If I can buy a generic drug, my insurance company gives me a good price. Unfortunately, there isn't a generic equivalent for many drugs. My husband had to renew a 90-day prescription for a fairly common drug recently, and the price was $346.00. After he meets his deductible he won't have to pay that much, but I thought the price was ridiculous. Bush has appointed someone to look into the possibility of buying drugs in Canada. I don't think he will follow through by buying, but at least one state is buying its drugs for state employees from Canada. I lived in Canada for a number of years, and for the monthly fee for provincial health insurance was reasonable. Unless Canada has changed its policy, each providence has its own insurance plan so the price for health insurance and perhaps drugs may vary.
