How the discount drug programs at the big drug store retail chains like CVS. Walgreens and Walmart are leading to increasing competition and lower prices in generic drugs that are now sold for one month supplies for hundreds of unbranded drugs. Mass mechandisers like Target have their own programs selling drugs in the same manner as the Walmart which started this with its $4 generic prescriptions for one month supplies in 2006. Its changing the landscape for drug pricing gradually and will become part of a larger trend as health care costs are challenged in different ways by customers, merchandisers, and others in a low inflation cost conscious economic environment, with an overstretched indebted consumer looking for ways to cut costs on everything from groceries, shopping needs and prescription drugs.

Drugstore Chains Insured Against Health Cuts
Wall Street Journal 04/05/2009
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
