Pharmacies

On problem with the American medical system is that being totally free market (normally a good thing) drugs are actually rather expensive here. That's why using a Canadian pharmacy can be such a good idea.

Up there in the frozen north they have a more socialist system of medical care. This leads to two things....one is a certain amount of public subsidy of the system but this doesn't extend to the purchase of drugs unfortunately.

The other is that the government itself negotiates with the drug companies over the prices they will charge. As you can imagine, this means that, with the bulk buying power, that prices are lower in Canada.

So, by clicking through that link above you can in fact get the best of both worlds. The speed and no waiting lines of the US system but by buying your prescription meds online fron Canada you get to save money as well.

Not bad, eh?
