Cut drug costs the easy way!

If you've ever had to obtain non-generic drugs because a generic brand wasn't available, you know how quickly costs can mount. Americans spent on average $758 out of pocket for medication in 2012, according to a recent Consumer Reports national telephone poll. One thing you can do to help reduce costs of any drug is to shop around.  How?  Call around to different pharmacies and ask for the price on a months supply of the drug in need.  You may be shocked at what you discover.

Recently, Consumer Reports did just this, inquiring about the costs of multiple drugs from different pharmacies. What they found was that in some cases, the same drugs varied in price by over $100 between stores.  You can read their article, and see the prices they were quoted in their report by clicking here.

As a consumer, you have the right to shop and compare prices.  Don't settle for paying higher prices when better deals can be found with just a phone call!

More on Alzheimer's...

We came across an interesting article on Yahoo News about a study focused on so called “Super

Agers” and what makes them different. A “Super Ager” is a person who is in their 80s and 90s, but with brains and memories that seem far younger. One interesting find in the study suggests that people who are “cognitively active and socially engaged” have a reduced chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Which comes first — a healthy brain or a great attitude — isn’t known. However, it’s worthy of note that staying active as we age is a repeating theme in reducing the chances of developing Alzheimer’s.

 The article is interesting in it’s observations and discoveries, and can be read in it's entirety by clicking here!
