Americans Pay Up to 10 Times Too Much for Medications

Just 17 percent of people comparison shop for their prescriptions to find better deals, a new survey shows. That means 83 percent are potentially paying hundreds of dollars more than necessary each time they fill a prescription, according to Consumer Reports. The nonprofit found that medications can cost as much as 10 times more at one retailer compared with the cost at another. Lisa Gill, prescription drug editor at Consumer Reports, tells "CBS This Morning": "[We] discovered enormous price variations around the country, but also within the same zip code. Most people would not think, 'Hey, I'm going to pick up the phone and call around,' but you can save a bundle of money if you do."
