it's possible you're seeing the result of the high cost of insurance and people having a hard time affording coverage. but drug discount programs -- even when you have insurance -- can help to make medications more affordable for many consumers. and in some cases paying with a discount program can result in lower cost even than using insurance coverage. it's always a good idea to ask which is the best method for lowering your costs.
i work in a pharmacy and have begun to see more people opting not to enroll in health insurance/prescription coverage. . is this becoming a growing trend? if you're young and healthy is this the way to go? with all of the changes in the medical system it's hard to know what is right or wrong anymore.
