Heading to Mexico for cheaper prescription drugs

30 Oct 2018

PEHP in Utah is incentivizing public employees with cash, a plane ticket, and a fast lane to head to Mexico to fill certain costly prescriptions drugs around cancer treatment, immuno therapy, and other health issues.  In case you didn't know, this is the only way some seniors have been able to afford their prescription drugs; an annual trip south to get inhalers, heart meds, cholesterol meds, etc filled for significanlty reduced prices.  Of course those are the fortunate seniors that have the money and ability to make the trip south.  One more reason, we need fair market transparent prices within our healthcare system: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/10/28/fight-high-drug-prices/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosvitals&stream=top&utm_term=BioPharma%20Dive
