With no insurance we cannot afford to buy the meds perscribed by our doctors, I have read online foreign pharmacies cost less. But I am scared of being scammed or lose money from a bad site, if anyone has this problem and knows of foreign pharmacies that have discounted meds I would apprecciate it, we are not druggies we have seen the doctors, but it is very expensive to get meds in the US with no insuurance, so if anyone can recommend anything we would be grateful?

I believe Wal-Mart is selling meds at $4 a prescription. They started that over 6 months ago I think. Walgreen's maybe too. I'm not so sure about them, Walgreen's or Longs has a discount to be competitive with Wal-Mart.
In California you can go to a General Hospital and get medical treatment and if you medication I believe they fill it. I'm not positive but I know if you go very early in the morning and sign up they have a medical insurance for people who can not afford medical so I believe you would be able to get your meds as well. A General Hospital is like a County Hospital. These hospital have state funding.
Also you can apply for medicare or medical if you are destitute. Go down to the County or SS building and apply. Find out what you are eligible for.
I hope this helps. Good luck to you and your family.

Walmart only has the $4 generic on certain generics, not all of them. I know that Kroger matches competitors prices and you can just call around to different pharmacies and ask how much they charge then tell Kroger and they will charge you that price. Around here places like Costco and Sams are usually the cheapest. Walgreens has a discount prescription card that is only about $20 a year and it can save you a BUNCH!!!

Depending on your financial circumstances, often prescribed medications can be gotten at reduced or no cost. If you're in the US, first check with your own county health department to get advice from them. Good luck.
