James
L.
Martin
said
the
association's
October

in
Florida

similar
results
in
New
Hampshire,
Missouri
and
other
states.
"If
seniors
simply
call
several
pharmacies
before
they
buy
prescription
drugs,
they
can
save
up
to
$70
per
month
per
prescription,"
he
said.
"For
seniors,
many
of
whom
are
on
multiple

this

hundreds
