Walgreens is taken out of the script!

Walgreens and Express Script I am flabbergasted!  I can't believe Express Scripts failed to negotiate a new contract with Walgreens!  Let me explain what happened at best.  Express Scripts is the  middleman for the healthcare system.  Walgreens initially was a part of Express Scripts network.  Basically, this means that Walgreens was provider for the pharmaceutical needs of patients within the network.  Since the negotiations is a no go, Walgreens will not provide pharmaceutical services of patients within the network any longer.  However, the problem is for consumers without transportation, or those patients that are too sick to travel for a long period, won't rely on  the convenience having Walgreens nearby.  To make matters worse, due to Walgreens absence, the costs for patient medicine may even be greater.  It doesn't' appear that Express Scripts has their patients in mind when negotiations occurred. 

Walgreens is showing compassion for its consumers by offering the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.  This club offers discounts for patients all year long.  It only costs $10 for a family to become a member, and an individual will only have to pay $5 for the entire year!  Which means you can save 8,000 brand name and all generic medications.  Plus, you can receive discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies.
