Beverly of La Selva Beach CA writes (3/3/03):
The Walgreens in Madeira Beach FL charged me $364.89 for a prescription. The exact same prescription cost at my local independant pharmacy in Santa Cruz County, California is $254.25. A very considerable difference of $110.64!

We are in Florida to help a friend who has cancer and we are on a tight retirement budget. This escalated cost really hurts!

My wife has ADVAIR prescribed for an asthmatic problem. We just refilled this for 50 doses. The cost was $217.99. After reading the yearly profit statement for SGK I have to consider this pricing to be another corporate ripoff to the consumer. Why aren't these drug prices controlled?? This reeks of political pressure to stay away from their structure and soak the public so all their executives are able to retire with their millions. Being retired from a large corporation I can look back now and realize how all the pressure is put on to maximize these profits.

I have a fear these exorbitant rates will max out my insurance benefits. Thank God I have some coverage and can get by for now. When I have to pay this out of pocket we will have to do without.
