What are you waiting for?
Being asthmatic, I have 2 inhalers I should use. My rescue one, which I use if I'm having an attack and "can't blow out a match" (old Primatine mist commercial) and a steroid one which I should use to help prevent attacks. I'll admit, I'm bad. I don't use the steroid one like I should but 1) it tastes nasty and 2) it gives me heart palpations. (Yes, I told my doctor about it. He said most will do that and I would have to deal with it.)
In any event, I ran out of the steroid one. With winter on the way, I know I need to start using it again as much as I hate to use it. So, I call my normal pharmacy to find out how much it'll be. $237.99! FOR ONE FREAKIN' INHALER!!! Say it with me...YOU'RE ON CRACK! Now I won't pay that much. My portion is 20%, but still $47.60 for an inhaler is alot and considering I don't get paid until Monday. I really don't have an extra fifty to spare.
So for the hell of it, I figured I would call Wal-Mart. Their price? $118 FOR THE SAME DAMN THING!!! My portion would be $23.60! Now it might be my cheap Polish heart but that's a big ass difference! Now why can one place give it to you at a better price?! No wonder why no one can afford medical care!
