Increased Rx cost

Has anyone else noted the increase in the cost of some
prescriptions since the beginning of 2012? Not only in the
out of pocket amount but also in the cash price amount.
I have the Medicare Advantage plan through PERS of Oregon.
Can understand the out of pocket increase (i think) but am
perplexed about the cash price increase.......z

It is a hell of a lot cheaper than the local drugstore pharmacies.

to buy from Canada but have no idea how to find a good pharmacy that will ship.
Since I cannot afford Medicare part D, this would be a good source.

Thanks

Granville Pharmacy. They're legitimate, online, and require prescriptions, but you can get substantial savings on a number of meds.

And they don't require a prescription. I don't want to be bothered going to the doctor every time I needed a refill.

I have a larger copay in prescriptions and after picking up a couple today they both cost more. I pay a higher copay for doctor's visits.
