Everyone knows that prescription and over-the-counter-drugs are expensive in the United States. Seniors are the worst hit with drug prices because they are generally on a fixed income and unless they have another health care plan other than Medicare, they must pay for a Medicare supplement to provide prescription drugs at lower costs.

Seniors must pay a deductable of $310 (as of 2010) and up until the initial coverage limit of $2,830 for Medicare D coverage is reached. Seniors also must pay a 25 percent co-pay or out-of-pocket payment for drugs.

Seniors who exceed that amount will pay the total cost of prescription drugs until their out-of-pocked costs exceed $4,550. After that limit has been reached, Medicare will pay nearly all the cost for prescription drugs. What do seniors do who never reach the maximum of $4,550? They need to find an alternative to the high drug cost, and many turn to Canada.

Many people with health problems who need maintenance medication, such as diabetes or people with heart disease will benefit from purchasing prescription drugs on the Internet through the Canada Drug Center website. Purchasing prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs through Canada is safe and affordable.
