I have always found the staff to be most informative and very, very welcoming. Thank you.

Just spent close to $500 on prescription drugs for a relative. This is exactly half of this person’s Social Security check. Not much left, is there?

Why isn’t Congress investigating the prices of the drugs at pharmacies?
