Tried once.

Somebody behind me said quit being poor.
I was shamed and walked away.

I'm not a pharmacist, but take several meds that really add up. Besides insurance, often, my doctor will provide coupons for a really deep discounts. Goodrx.com has been helpful at times as well. Just from a consumer's point of view.

You will get nowhere negotiating for medicine. Healthcare does not operate in anything remotely resembling a free market and hasn't for 100 years.

Pharmacies are very competitive regarding prices and quality of service.

Do you have a Sam's Club nearby? They have some discounted prices for some stuff. I think it is just for plus members. Looks like a bunch of stuff listed for diabetes/heart/blood pressure.

Sorry! I havent yet, still waiting on a complete medicine list. He can be a bit lazy when it comes to this stuff, he gets it stuck in his head its not worth the effort. So im having to fight him a bit on it. Which is frustrating as hell.

No worries :) Include drug allergies/intolerances so I can suggest changes to cheaper meds if possible.
