I'm thrilled!!!

That 1.7% increase is 1.7% more than most federal workers (barring the DoD) have gotten in the last year.

That's not exactly what I had in mind!

Somehow I figured that's be a deal-breaker.

Now for the exact same thing ordered thru a Canadian pharmacy - it's $70 and free shipping!!! I have 2 other prescriptions that I am currently buying in the U.S. also. They aren't as expensive, but I will still save by buying Canada.

No one can convince me the the folks in the U.S. that buy from U.S. pharmacies, aren't getting ripped off!

No way in the world would I ever pay over $300.00 for a RX. I take 20mg generic (Atorvastatin) Lipitor 30 pills for $5.00 at CVS. Mine were made in India
and were recalled recently for bits of glass found amoung the tablets. CVS took them back & said they had other suppliers to use & offered me the new pills.

By the way, that cost of living adjustment is going to be getting a lot worse. Because of the the tax mess in Wash. They may be changing the formula for arriving
at the COLA rate. Google "chained CPI" to get an idea. We'll be lucky to get any increase ever again. We will be losing money long term.
