[ALERT] $1.7 Billion Drug Crisis Being HUSHED?

Dear Turapür Today Reader,
If you’re taking brand name prescription drugs, you already know the toll it can take on your body AND your wallet.
And you’re not alone.
In fact, nearly 66 PERCENT of all adults in the United States use prescription drugs!
That means millions of Americans are on a hamster wheel of waiting in long lines at the pharmacy and trying to keep up with complicated labels and dosages… and they’re watching their savings dwindle away as the cost of these brand name drugs continues to rise.
And unfortunately, what I’m about to tell you is likely going to you feel worse… if not ANGRY!
According to a massive study authored by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, taking brand name prescription drugs over generics is costing millions of older adults on Medicare nearly $1.7 BILLION each year!
Yes, that’s billion with a ‘B’!
This is important because there are federal laws in place that are supposed to promote the use of affordable, generic drugs… especially for folks on fixed or limited incomes.
But according to the study, clinicians opt for more expensive, brand name drugs over their generic counterpart a mind-blowing 30% of the time!
Now, I want to be clear…
This is not to say that doctors or physicians are purposely prescribing brand name drugs to folks on Medicare… it’s simply to point out that too many times brand name drugs are being prescribed when a generic drug will do.
And if you’re reliant on prescription drugs, the difference between a brand name and a generic could cost you hundreds… if not THOUSANDS of dollars each year.
So, what does this all mean for you, especially if you are taking brand name prescription drugs?

The absolute first thing you should do is talk to your doctor about any and all prescriptions you are taking.
If you are taking a brand name drug – but it’s becoming a financial burden – address it with your doctor and ask if there is a more affordable, generic alternative you could take instead.
From there, he will (and should) be able to outline if a generic could be a better option for you.
If you can’t get a straight answer – or he insists that you must be on a costly brand name drug – perhaps it’s time to get a second opinion!
