I am fortunate to have a medical plan with my company which pays for meds except for a small co-pay which is $5 for generic and $10 for brand name unless the Dr. writes "dispense as written" on a brand name prescription and then the co-pay reverts to $5. I can only get one month's prescription at a time unless I use the mail order version where I can get three months supply for the cost of two. It is not all roses, however, as the monthly cost of the plan is high. Paul H. Lauer
