Important -Costs of perscriptions

For those of you outraged at the cost of perscription drugs here in the US there are alternatives. My husband and I order our stuff from Canada. Canada RX Go to their site to search for what you need, print out form and have your Doctor sign (for perscription) that's it. One of my hubby's perscriptions was over $350. a month ..now we pay $179 a month Big difference.
