Wal-Mart, which sparked a copycat frenzy back in 2006, when it began offering a 30-day supply of generics in its stores for just $4, says delivery will be free, and cover 300 commonly prescribed medications. Consumers can enroll with a phone call, and never have to enter the store.
"This
announcement signals Walmart's commitment to help consumers save money on prescriptions regardless of whether or not they live close to a Walmart pharmacy location," the company says in its release.
"Our $10 mail delivery prescription pilot program is a reflection of Walmart's commitment to drive unnecessary costs out of the health care system so Americans can live healthier, better
lives."--Sarah Mahoney
