As we all know healthcare is a growing problem in the US with Medical cutting benefits as well as the cost of prescriptions. Everyday I see more cut backs and higher prices. Now Walgreens is suffering with the Express Scripts program. If you get your prescriptions there, it will or has affected you.

As of December 31st, Walgreens and Express Scripts contract has expired as the pharmacy provider network, affecting all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide. This is forcing patients to travel furter, change pharmacists, and potentially pay more.

The Express Scripts program offered savings by offering more generic prescriptions, as well as doing 90 days refills compared to 3 – 30 day refills.
