Get a healty dose of savings

TRICKS OF THE TRADE By Farnoosh Torabi AM New York September 12th, 2006
Paying for prescription drugs can be a pain, but there a number of ways to save on medication. Here are some dollar-friendly strategies. E-shop---Shopping on the Web can sometimes help you save. Make sure to only buy drugs at Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites.(VIPPS)-approved Internet pharmacies in the United States like
Eckerd.com, Walgreen.com and CVS.com. To compare prices online, visit nyagrx.org, a Web site set by the New York State attorney general's office that lets consumers evaluate costs for the 25 most commonly prescribed drugs at pharmacies across the state.According to the attorney general's office, consumers can save an average of 24% per prescription by price-shopping via this Web site. Many doctors tend to prescribe the latest medicine for a problem rather than use the older drugs, which often are available as a generic, said Dr. Rich Sagall, president of needymeds.com a non-profit that offers help to those who can't afford medicine or health care costs. And while you're at the doctor, ask for free samples. SENIORS: Look into Medicare
Medicare's outpatient prescription drug coverage is a relatively new program that is designed to help seniors aged 65 and older pay for prescription drugs,regardless of their income or how they pay for health care now. According to the government, people with limited incomes who quality for extra help will save about 95% on drug costs. Seniors should also ask their pharmacy if they offer a senior citizen or AARP discount.

Thanks to Bush, Bin Laden won

I hear Osama Bin Laden laughing.I heard him all day on Sunday and yesterday as the mass murder of Sept.11,2001, was memorialized at the Pentagon and in that field in Pennsylvania and, especially, here where the most people died and where countless cameras recorded it all posterity and an abiding,everlasting ,anger.He laughs,the madman does, whenever George Bush says,as he has over and over,that "America is winning this war on terror"Osama Bin Laden knows better. He has already won.It is not merely that Bin Laden has not been captured or killedand that Video tapes keep coming out of his hideout like taunts;it is rather that his initial strategy has borne fruit.He succeeded beyond his wildest expectations when the U.S. respondedto the Sept.11 attacks by invading Afghanistan and, in a beat, then going to war in IraqIt remains mired in both countries to this day.

CLEAN 'BILL' FOR 9/11 MOVIE
Facing heavy pressure from Bill Clinton and backlash from an educational publisher, ABC is revising it's controversial miniseries The Path To 9/11. The network has toned down but not eliminated a fictional scene involving Clinton's national security advisor Sandy Berger. Berger was portrayed in the original version as declining to give the order to kill Osama bin Laden just before hanging up the phone on CIA operatives in the field. Clinton, Berger and the 9/11 Commission have said that no such phone call ever occurred and that Berger had previously given his OK to assassinate bin Laden. Bill Clinton said he hadn't seen the ABC film. "But I think they ought to tell the truth, particularly if they are going to claim it is based on the 9/11 Commission Report."
