10 Facts about Walmart That Will Shock You
6. Offers Low-cost Prescription Drugs
Wal-Mart offers low cost generic prescription drugs. The program, available at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores, is offered in 14 states with plans on expansion. Anyone who has ever had to buy a prescription without insurance knows how expensive they can be. This actually prevents sick people from getting the medicine they need. Programs like this allow for customers to purchase generic brand drugs for only $4 a prescription! The savings is great, but more importantly it means low income individuals can now afford to medicine their doctors prescribe them. This will not only help people, it will save lives. Look for the program to expand, as the company hopes to be able to implement it in every state. Unfortunately, state bureaucracy means each state’s program has to be unique, which delays rollout.
