(8,175 posts)I'm curious about what you get for the Walgreens plan. We have a Walgreens here, but I get my scripts from Walmart. I am also not in Part D because I couldn't afford it when it was first available (I was on disability, low income, and they would not tell me what kind of savings on meds I'd get...it was sign up now and we'll tell you later" . I also refused to sign up, partly, because of the refusal to negotiate for drug prices. It pissed me off and I wanted no part of a plan that worked that way. So now I can't sign up because of the 10% increase each year I didn't sign up. It would be prohibitively expensive for me now. Well over $100 a month, just for part D.
But...I am using asthma inhalers that keep going up in price. They just bumped the price up almost ten bucks ea. with my last purchase. I sometimes use two a month, so it's now $122 a month for two of them, and that's too expensive for me. I pay it, but wish I could get a discount. And damned if there should not be a cheap generic version of this by now.
So I'd be interested in knowing what you get for $35 a year in cost savings on drugs at Walgreens. If it only works on generic drugs, it wouldn't help me, as Ventolin is not a generic and there is no generic for an albuterol inhaler any more.
