In states bordering Mexico and Canada, it is common practice for people to buy their medications in the countries with the best pricing-which is not the United States.
In my own case, even though I have USA medicare, I get almost all medical care in Mexico. However, with frequent trips back to Phoenix, I sometimes overstay my supply of prescription medications from my Mexican doctors.
I was back in Phoenix , recently, doing rehab on my wife’s rental house and maintenance on our own home. As work progressed slower than anticipated, I told mi esposa that I had to make a drug run to the border to refill one prescription. Mexican prescriptions cannot be refilled in the USA. She told me that I almost always wind up having to do the same, each time I come back to Arizona.
Transportation to the border is cheap and convenient from Phoenix and Tucson, where 75% of Arizonans live. From Phoenix, I took a $25 shuttle van direct to the border- a three hour ride. The driver’s speedometer often showed 80 mph. Contrast this with transportation up north. How far will $25 take you? Why? It has to be the competition in Phoenix, since there are many border shuttle companies.
