Depending on plan, it can be as low as $4/mo for generics.
And yea, you can get scripts for OTC meds, old folks on Medicare do it all the time.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the OTC would need to have a prescription strength dose in order to be able to get a script for it. Plus, not all folks on Medicare have Part D. Part D covers drugs. If a Medicare recipient has only Part A & B, they are out of luck with Rx coverage.
I think this region should break off and form its own Country....its Healthy , stable and growing in the Southern part , we have the lowest crime , Obesity , Welfare rates and highest Education standards. We can grow our own food and trade with the world along with make our own crap. The Northeast is similar to Europe...I would completly throw out the tax system , its broken and doesn't work...The Education and Criminal system need an overhaul...

Can someone tell me why Romney wants to cut funding to PBS? I just dont understand why someone would want to cut funding to something that is educating our children? Yes public school is free so of course theres that, but many low incone families cant afford to send a child to preschool, so PBS may be the only outlet they have.
A lot of what Romney wants to do just doesnt make a whole lot of sense. PBS educates children- cut it! Planned Parenthood provides healthcare resources to low income woman (generally)- lets cut it! WHYYYYY?
Obamacare is taking 700 billion FROM medicare to pay for it. ANy of you who beleive he is going to "strengthen" medicare are fools. He also said he would decrease unemployment and its higher then ever. Oh and he doubled the national deficit...not bad not bad.
The country is in the ****ter. Wake up. Obama had his chance... He blew it, big time. How is that not obvious. Do you think doubling the national debt is a good thing? should he be praised for it? or is big ol bully Romney making all of that stuff up?

Defintely voting Obama
I HATE MISQUOTES AND MISREPRESENTATIONS
Claim: The other campaign wants to slash Medicare.
Both presidential candidates propose to restrain Medicare spending, yet each points an accusing finger at the other.
Romney, Aug. 15: [T]he president’s cuts of $716 billion to Medicare, those cuts are going to be restored if I become president and Paul Ryan becomes vice president.
Obama, Aug. 15: Their plan makes seniors pay more to help finance another tax cut for folks who don’t need it.
There’s good reason for wanting to slow down spending (see “Medicare is in trouble,” above). And it’s a common campaign ruse for one side to cast its ideas as “savings” that will extend the life of Medicare, while disparaging the other side’s ideas as drastic cuts that will slash benefits for seniors.
The candidates disagree strongly on how to accomplish their common goal, but both have proposed cutting — or, if you’d rather, “saving” — money from the future growth of Medicare spending.
Note that neither side has proposed slashing Medicare spending below its current level, despite the impression listeners might get from all this talk of “cuts.” They’re both talking about trimming the growth of future spending.
“The goal is to reduce the rate of growth slowly in the future, and both proposals would probably do that,” says Alice Rivlin, founding director of the Congressional Budget Office and now an economist with the Brookings Institution. Neither side, she says, is going “to propose actual cuts in Medicare or in Medicare benefits or drastic change in Medicare.”
