In the latest proposed changes to medical health insurance, nobody seems to recall any mention of drugs.

Americans consume more drugs than most other countries and our pharmaceutical costs are higher here than most other places in the world. In spite of the fact that our little “botanical havens”, such as our territories, are where a lot of research and development take place, we still suffer the highest costs. So, please know what your choices are when you visit with your doctor about any prescription drugs you may be taking. Check the generics. Check for interactions. But always know, that Wellmark’s specialty drug program will help you in containing the costs of your pharmacy items.
