I tried GoodRX. Yes, you can find drugstores which are cheaper than the one around the corner. My husband picks up my prescriptions on the way home from work, he'd rather not have to brave the hellish traffic in Fairfax City to the Walgreens, or into the parking lot hell that is Walmart. When he retires, I'm sure the calculation will change.

Bill, Thanks so much for this article. I remembered the article from a while back but still had to search for it to find the name Blink Health. Yesterday I went to cvs which is our insurer as well as the pharmacy we're forced to use. My wife was trying to change from an expensive drug where there was no generic so that it could be covered. But they denied the generic too. We called them and the agent there said your doctor can fight it but the agent had never seen a doctor successfully override their policy. Evidently there's a whole class of drugs they won't cover. So we signed up with Blink Health and paid $15 for a 90 day supply that would have cost us over $300 at cvs with no real coverage. I'll have to spread the word to some of our friends and relatives that spend a large part of their SSI on medications. Easier than going to Canada.
