Subject: Statin Cholesterol-Lower Drugs & Costs

Cryonet:

Drug companies have some of the very healthiest profit margins of any 
industry in the USA--I don't.  Per my checking today, K-Mart pharmacies in 
Raleigh, NC will fill a prescription of thirty 10 mg Lipitor tablets at a 
costs $56.99.  Thirty 80 mg tablets cost $107.97.  Guess what potency my 
doctor will soon be prescribing for my 10 mg per day habit?  I guess I can 
figure out how to chop up some pills at a savings of over $500 per year.  
There is a similar spread with Zocor and probably the rest of them.

Just a thought I thought I would pass on.

David C. Johnson
