Comments on: Walgreens Accused Of Scamming Taxpayers

A Look Inside What's Been Called America's Biggest Pharmacy's Pill-Flipping Scheme

[toldyouso12]

CORRECTION:

In another post Rowdywicca aka RowdyTexan2 claimed she grossed only 30K per year--so what business does she own, where she employs 25 employees but only has 30K for herself--does she sell tupperware or something?

And the person with the strongest connection and biggest links to big pharm and drug companies? Why HRC!!! The same who would push her UHC plan and ensure all her largest supporters got the entire country as patients for life--that''''s who. LMAO

Liberals hate Walgreens so, I wouldn''''t be surprised if exaggeration or outright lies are involved here. I like Walgreens and have had nothing but good service from them and hope that this''''ll be resolved in it''''s favor. Go Walgreens!

They already paid back 35 million dollars, super stupid. They decided for the government and paid back that money voluntarily. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. LOL

Your copay is decided by your insurance company, not the pharmacy, therefore your copay will be the same regardless of where your get your script filled. If it is not (and I have never seen this happen any of the places I have worked) that is an insurance issue, not the responsibility of the pharmacy.

While the co pay is decided by the insurance company, many people now have plans that demand a different co pay depending on if they use an in network pharmacy or out of network pharmacy. If they use an in network pharm then they pay the regular co pay--if they go outside to an unrecognized network, they pay the co pay, but are subject to pay the difference between what that pharmacy is charging and what the ins co has bargained down to. So this means that at one store, a bottle of pills could cost 7.36 plus 10.00 co pay, but those same pills might be 10.99 plus 10.00 co pay at another store--now add to that the cost of capsule changing, and the patient might pay 10.00 co pay plus the 7.36 or they could pay the 10.00 co pay and another 23.95 if at a store that does not get the automatic "flip"

Anyone who has visited Northern Illinois, has to have seen the medical "Corporate Campuses" of Abbott Labs in North Chicago, and both Baxter Labs and Walgreens. both in Deerfield.

The places are HUGE, employ hundreds of people and have to be making billions just to afford that kind of overhead!

And how are they making all that money? You know they are ripping sick people off, along with the average taxpayer. It''s "Ferengi Economics" at work as sponsored by the Great Emperor Bush II and the neocon Fascist Nazi Republicans. There''s no PROFIT being a "Mother Theresa"!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
Sig Heil, DEFINITELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!!

Actually, I supported a more centrist candidate, who had in her support group the one person who had cleaned up a republican mess and turned this country around! The one candidate who had plans that were realistic and not based on some bull ***** about HOPE AND CHANGE! Which is just a bunch of hot air that doesn''''t mean a damned thing!

Uh oh...somebody is still upset that their candidate lost the nomination. Somebody who is too petty and angry and ill-graced to move on--so now she will see the virtue of more war, no UHC and no Roe v Wade. Yep. That''s the ticket. LOL

A candidate sooo centrist, that Edwards announced in one of the debates that Clinton had the most support, monies of Big pharm, healthcare etc in her pocket--or does that mean she is in their''s? At any rate--what''s a nice girl like that, doing proposing UHC with a mandate of participation and still taking the big bucks from the people who are milking everyone in the first place? Oh, don''t tell us..we know--your nice, centrist candidate--beloved by the right wing, fox news, Rove, hannity and Limbaugh--was just about to profit from catching the public goose, making it lay the golden egg, then killing it, deep frying it and serving it up for dinner--to her true masters--big pharm, hospital concerns and big insurance companies.

Whoops. rotflmao

That is so outrageously distorted. You think it''''s unbalanced in favor of the left? Are you paranoid that your dividend check is going to dry up? This country is too full of dead weight draining the system and doing absolutely nothing beyond their deluded self absorbed inflated egos.

Don''t fall for the Rowdywicca bs--she is RowdyTexan 2--when HRC was winning, she was full pelt crowing the virtues, now that Obama has the nomination, she is practicing being a full turn coat--Rowdy has no loyalty--except to her own anger and psychosis, which tell her to flip the script and be as much for McCain and the Republicans as she was for HRC--with her mindset--there is no stretch.

[toldyouso12]

Then why hasn''''t our government come up with a plan of regulation that holds corporations to a FAIR PROFIT MARGIN, and hold out for a fair living wage!

Again, you can''''t do that without a BALANCE of power!

***********. It''s not the party, it''s whose pocket each person is in. McCain and many Republicans are also in the pocket of Big pharm--though no one has ever been in it more deeply than Hillary Clinton. But we digress--she''s not in the equation, instead in the Rep vs Dem event--both can be in the pocket of big business, which is why, no matter how the Congress and the White house is distributed--there has been little relief from rising healthcare or illegal aliens or other issues--the fact is, Republicans are just as likely to champion big pharm for their own reasons, but only Dems will put ANY watchdog at all in place to make sure we don''t get screeeewed too tightly.

[toldyouso12]

nd now you want to load up our government with TOTAL left wing nuts that have no clue how to stimulate an economy, and will try to make a name on some kind of whack job Robin Hood plan! That''''s already PROVEN failed strategy!

Extremism on EITHER end ROBS YOU! Don''''t any of you get that???

Posted by RowdyWicca at 01:52 PM : Jun 14, 2008


Whew!!! Get a load of Rowdy practicing her right wing rant---she was sooooooooo Hillary a few months ago--now we see her true colors--we knew that no true blue Dem would really be under that KKK hood you were sporting, girl!!! LOL

I am prescription free and will remain so. This is the tip of the iceberg, Big Pharma has been bilking medicaid out of billions of dollars over the years. The scandals to come will make this one look like pocket change.
