I'm guessing there's a slight increase. Thanks, Bob Freeman Charles, a quick question if I may: how is the weakening US dollar affecting prices of Rx drugs brought in from Canada?

This way we stay below the gap and save money. We buy the cheap drugs through the Medicare Rx Plan just to have the plan active. Our yearly total prescription drugs were much cheaper buying from Canada before the Medicare Rx Plan with the increased monthly cost of the plan and higher drug prices.
