For those of you without insurance who regularly buy meds
There is a new state-run website that allows you to compare prices of different meds so you can find the cheapest pharmacy.

1. Public-Private Partnership Actualizing Synergies.
There are drugs listed that are available over the counter for example naproxen sodium.There was only one pharmacy listed in my town that offers it at 250mg x 60 for $16.99.

I can buy a bottle of 400 at a warehouse club for $12.Does this mean doctors are writing scripts for over the counter drugs and pharmacies are filling them?This seems to be the learning experience I gained.

I tried to get some contact lenses and learned I needed a prescription but they could copy my eyeglass lenses to make new ones without a prescription.The health care industry is a sellers market so consumer sites government or otherwise have limited use.

I heard about a bid for prescriptions site on NPR.Priceline is disliked by the travel industry,they get even by taking the coffeepot out of the room.
