Download or read book How to Save Big with Pharmacy Tourism written by Susan Connor and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, Americans pay more for prescription medication than any other country in the entire world. This reality can be heartbreaking for those who simply can't afford the high cost of their prescribed meds. Why should Americans have to pay a "red, white, and blue" tax on medications when our neighbors to the north and south pay so much less for the same thing? We're not talking about a small difference, but in some instances, this can be hundreds of dollars. When I was a nurse in a private doctor's office, I witnessed this stark reality first hand. I witnessed the pain on a grandmother's face when she explained that she had not been able to take her much-needed medications simply because she could not afford them. This conversation and many others like this sparked the catalyst for me to begin researching how Americans could acquire cheaper prescription medications. By traveling out of the country, primarily to Canada and Mexico, you can obtain prescription medications at a fraction of the cost. The cost of visiting Canada or Mexico can easily be offset by the amount of money you can save by purchasing your medications in these countries. Besides, there are tons of fun things to see and do in these magnificent countries! If we can outsource labor, buy clothes and gadgets abroad, and find specialized services in other countries that do way better in that aspect than we do, then why can't we do the same for medicines? The most amazing fact is that with the savings you can make on sourcing your medicines abroad, you can easily use those savings to pay for your travel expenses as well. In some cases, you can even factor in your costs on airfare, transportation, accommodation, and food and still come out with a cheaper bill compared to you buying your meds in the country like you normally would. With that in mind, is there any other reason why you shouldn't just pack your bags and go? In my book, I will show you how you can save tons of money by purchasing your prescription medications outside of the United States. You will learn how to do this safely, legally, and inexpensively. My book focuses on travel to Canada and Mexico because they would be the cheapest countries to make an expedition to from the US. Be sure to check out the preview of this book, so you'll know what value you're getting for your money. I would recommend that you purchase the paperback version of this book because you'll get the Kindle version for free. That's a great deal! I wish you the best of health in a way that you can easily afford.

Download or read book Why Do Drugs Cost So Much written by Joe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caution! Reading this book in it's entirety may cause the following side effects: Surprise, Anger, Disbelief, and even Amusement. We begin by revealing the little known, inside workings of the pharmaceutical industry, based on the experiences of people who have worked there. Why do you think it is that your drugs cost so much? Is it because of all the high tech 'stuff' that goes into making it? Or is it something else that might shock or even anger you? What goes on behind the scenes often has nothing whatsoever to do with science. This leads to the second part which has to do with our health and the things you may not even realize are making us all sick. This is not just another 'eat right and exercise' book. You will discover information you have never heard before. There are even things that have been proven to harm you but have been covered up or ignored, and even encouraged, as long as there is money to be made. Do you like investigative reporting? Do you like history, or science fiction? Do you have a taste for the macabre? Are you concerned about declining health care, government and military cover ups, or the high cost of medicine? Written with some humor and at times a touch of sarcasm, there is a little bit of something here for everyone. You may or may not agree with some of the things in this book, but once you start reading it, your curiosity will make you want to pick it up again and again until you are finished.
