Sounds like our Governor O'Malley is killing Maryland jobs just like Obama has killed million of American jobs. Seems to me the Maryland company should get the contract not some other state. After all it is for Maryland State employees.
I used to be with express scripts, what a scam. I called around to different pharmacies to get the best price, some were cheaper than the express scripts my insurance company forced me to use or they wouldn't cover it.
Now that I no longer have insurance I went price comparing, Giant wanted $75, Medicine shoppe wanted $35 and Riverside was $19.94 for the exact same generic as the other places.
It does pay to compare. Ought to be against the law to gouge people, some older folks would probably just pay the price because they don't know there is a big difference.
