We winter in South Texas, and that's when we found out about generic prescription drugs for $4 for 30 days, or $10 for 90 days. Yes, Isaid $4 for 30 days, or $10 for 90 day supply.

We could get these prescriptions from the Wal-Mart Pharmacy. We took our bottles to them and they transferred the prescriptions from the North Dakota pharmacies and we started saving with our generic drugs.

My wife and Ijust had six prescriptions filled, and if we would have paid regular price, it would have cost us over $700, and with Wal-Mart they came to $44. They take any prescription drug insurance and apply that to the bill. We are retired and on a fixed income and there are a lot of low income families that need this break in our medicines.

Our legislatures need to immediately change the old law that has cause us in North Dakota to pay higher prices for generic drugs. When they change these laws, we can have Wal-Mart or Target pharmacies come in so we can benefit from these lower prices.

We need to put pressure on our legislatures to give North Dakotans the benefits that other states have. Our state is the only one that has this outdated law. Who are these legislatures working for?Us, the people in the state, or the pharmacies that are making all this extra money.

Our doctors worked with us to change our expensive prescriptions to ones that are just as good so we could benefit from these lower prices.
