Betterthanmedicare.com delivers affordable solution to prescription drug debacle

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec. 23, 2009 -- On Dec. 15, the Obama Administration rejected a plan to allow the wholesale reimportation of cheaper prescriptions drugs from abroad, despite projected intentions to take on the drug industry and secure cheaper prescription for Americans.

“Americans are still paying up to 70 percent more for drugs than people in Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand and India,” said Gary Ryan, general manager of Betterthanmedicare.com (http://www.betterthanmedicare.com), a Canadian-based alternative to Medicare - and high drug prices in general. “While the Obama Administration struck down the possibility that cheaper prescription meds can be brought into the U.S. on a wholesale basis, the good news is that there is no change for Betterthanmedicare.com customers, who can still order from us directly.”

An alternative to Medicare, new prescription resource beats “The Obama Plan” prices

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Nov. 6, 2009 -- With his proposed health care reform plan, President Barack Obama has set his sights on cutting name-brand prescription drug costs by 50 percent for Medicare patients who fall into the “Part D” coverage gap, universally known as the “donut hole.” Plan advocates rave about the potential cost-cutting and feel it’s a promising start to health care reform. Yet some of the most powerful lobbyists want a revised program that completely eliminates the donut hole, which prevents Medicare coverage between two points of spending. This approach would cost the federal government $134 billion over a 10-year period. And while the various sides debate the details, most people don’t realize that a solution already exists. There’s an option for even greater savings that’s gap-free and available right now.
