Many people depend their lives on medication, not by choice that's for sure but whether they like it or not, their lives are tied with prescription drugs in order to continue living. Usually, these people are also those who are not earning much, and to buy these prescription medication is really taking a toll on their finances.

When the negotiation for Walgreens and Express Script new contract was unsuccessful, many Express Script's clients who buy their medicine in Walgreens are affected greatly. Now, patients covered by an Express Scripts plan now find themselves not only having to change their pharmacists, but many are having to drive farther to get prescriptions filled at pharmacies with less convenient hours for their hectic schedules. Walgreens offers more 24-hour and drive-thru pharmacies than any other pharmacy in the country. And patients are not seeing their costs go down in exchange for the increased hassle they’re being subject to.

To ease the burden of the patients, Walgreens is doing its part by offering special discount on annual membership for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and pets. Individuals may join for $5.
