Yeah, I heard that was expensive.  Even my doctor wants to "cure"
my hypertension with medication, but I truly believe all I need to do is
shed a few more pounds and everything will be normal -- or as normal as it
can be for my age.  As for Plavix, if you had Internet access, you could
get it much cheaper from one of the drugstores in Canada.  You'd need your
doctor to FAX them your Rx or you could mail it to them.  I don't know the
strength, but one of them advertises it thusly: 90 tablets for $27.00. 
That may be generic, but there isn't much difference that I've noticed in
the ones I've had to buy there.
 
To compound things even more and continue with the (ahem) rape of the
American consumer, gasoline prices here have risen 14 cents per gallon over
the past several months.  The cheapest I can find premium here is $2.73.9.
