Update! In fairness to Costco—since we
mailed copies of these webpages to the CEO the prices may have been
lowered to be in line with Drugstore.com—in fairness to us, when we
documented these prices they were exactly what we said they were. Too
high!
This is one of
the most popular books
for the
layman about
prescription
drugs
The main reason this one is popular is because
it's good. It's extremely thorough about
everything it discusses.
Anyone who wants to be
active in managing their health care, not just a
passive recipient of doctors' orders, should own
such a book....
Extensive descriptions of each drug (longer
descriptions than that other book)
Nice table of "Benefits versus Risks" for each,
lays out what to expect;
Includes virtually all brands, including
Canadian brands, for each generic name.
Costco Web Pharmacy charged more for 50
tablets than Drugstore.com charged for 90 tablets!
That is 93.55% higher!
Ok, we'll let you
refill your medication. You live.
Nope, you cannot
refill your medication. Sorry, you die.
My sarcastic comments (above)
about the sudden appearance of the "New Contract" make the point
clearly—if you don't "ACCEPT" you are "Costco
Web Pharmacy shit-out-of-luck" and can die for lack of
medication for all they care. That is what I think.
