New job in November, healthcare day 1, and I'm back to buying meds from Canada

Opted for one of the CDHPs, and I reasoned that if I needed to still buy meds from Canada, it would still be cheaper. Got my wish.

Weird thing is, I think the generic Canadian Asacol actually agrees with me more than good ol' 'Murican brand Asacol.

That is what always stopped me from exploring the idea, knowing a pharmacy I could trust.

www.pharmacychecker.com

www.napra.org

Use pharmacychecker.com to determine which pharmacy has the meds you need at the cheapest price.

Follow the link to that pharmacy's website, and find it's address--particularly the province.

Use napra.org (National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities) to look up the pharmacy and ensure it is legit.

If you have any issues, because pharmacychecker.com has some quirks, let me know what drug you need and I'll search it for you.
