Time to e-mail your Congressperson and let them know we're in favor of allowing Medicare to bargain for lower drug prices, as the VA does.
A year's worth of Fossamax through the VA: $250.
A year's worth of Fossamax through
Medicare: average, $800.
A year's worth of Zocor through VA:
$127.
A year's worth of Zocor through Medicare, average: $1500.
(Thanks to Al Franken on airamericaradio.com right now for the stats.)
Let your Senator know, too. The vote's coming up!
