WASHINGTON (AP) — Sponsors of the new Medicare drug discount card
on Friday said some prices are wrong on the online prescription price
comparison that the Bush administration rolled out a day earlier.

"Everybody seems to be
finding problems with
inaccuracies with the posted
prices," said Walgreens'
spokeswoman Laurie Meyer.

Prices for generic drugs
offered by the Walgreens'
drug card "were noticeably
higher," Meyer said. "They
were wrong."

Officials for Medco Health
Solutions Inc. and Pharmacy
Care Alliance, two other card
sponsors, also reported
problems. "Some are too
high. Some are too low," said
Craig Fuller, president of the
National Association of Chain
Drug Stores, a partner in the Pharmacy Care Alliance.
