Our insurance pays for most of ours so Iām not sure how that would work. Weād probably try and find the cheapest pharmacy

I get all my maintenance meds EXCEPT ONE at the local NJ Walgreens.
That one I don't get at Walgreens I order from Canada at 1/3 the US price.
IMO: Tariffs are stupid, stupid, stupid and stupid.

Iāll keep an eye on my Medicare Advantage Planās formulary to make sure that my drugs are covered.
If some drugs are dropped from the formulary, Iāll work with my PCP to find other options that are covered.
Fortunately, most of my drugs are inexpensive generics.
If I have to give up some of the new spendy drugs, like Ozempic, Iām ok with that.
Millions of seniors have done fine with basic TNT generic drugs for years.
It would probably be a better option for me to work harder on a healthier lifestyle but Iām afraid that I wouldnāt be very happy without my vices at this point in my life.

I take no meds. SO's are covered but for small co-pays plus healing process and a healthier out look have reduced post op meds. I will worry about this bridge when we get there.
From Canada, is that online?

Yes, but I can also call. I email or fax the 90 day prescription from the doctor first. Canadian Jardiance is 1/3 the US cost.

I have medication insurance which my Pharmacist clued me into. So, I get mine at a very low cost, regardless.

IDK.? I am part of Mo HealthNet. Which is part of Missouri Social Services?
I have GoodRX and take all generic medications. The highest price is just under $7. Two medications cost $0. GoodRX costs $9.99 per month. For me, it's worth it.
Not sure if prescriptions from Canada will still be available or if they will also go up due to tariffs. Depends on how everything plays out.

Unless I need a prescription stat, I always get my meds from Optum RX mail pharmacy. The state of N.J. contracts with them for our employee/retiree prescription plan. The RXs are cheaper. For 90 day supplies, I pay $5 or less for most pills and $28 for each of my eyedrops and the non generic pills (Farxiga, Eliquis & Tradjenta). I don't know if and how tariffs would affect those prices.
