In reply to the discussion: Anyone really happy on traditional Medicare? [View all]Irish_Dem
(59,719 posts)82. Yes Good RX helps, but still my meds are expensive.
But Krogers no longer takes Good RX and that is the least expensive source of my one expensive medication.
Thanks for the tip.
My doctor told me last week in a visit his other patients are complaining about the price of this specific medication and he is telling us to get a OTC substitute on Amazon!
So I am trying some of those, but having some problems with them.
But I am going to work on the Amazon list to find something I can tolerate physically.
It will save me a lot of money.

After reading up on it, MA is more of a HMO and it was less risky to pay the Part B for better coverage.
