Lots of noise about the 'new' Amazon prescription offerings. So I pulled the thread and, to their credit, the sign up process was pretty good. Not sure how they figured out that I had Tricare for Life but they did it automatically once I pushed the button. I entered all my meds and my lack of allergies and my medical conditions. It was all pretty user friendly. Downhill from there, though. Any prescriptions I had that were covered (all but one) were prohibitively expensive, three times what I'm paying at Express Scripts.

So, worth a look. I was hoping that maybe paying $5/month would give me some kind of a deal. But not so much. Not so long ago I paid zero for my prescriptions. But congress helped me out. Now I pay $12 for each of them. All are generic and I can find them for only a little bit more in other places but nowhere can I find them for less. So Express Scripts still had my business.

Dana it a different matter. She's got a bunch more than I have and I've got them farmed out to the cheapest place which is not necessarily Express Scripts. I keep track in a spreadsheet. I doubt I'll even look at them in Amazon. I do check Mark Cuban's site periodically. So far I've not found any on his but he keeps expanding and it is just a matter of time. His model is disruptive in an excellent way.

Other than that it is a quiet day. I've nothing on the schedule and will likely accomplish it all.

The walk with Zoe was encouraging. For all but the last but I felt really good. Got tired towards the end. My back gets tired still. The muscles lose strength. But much better than it has been.
