In a special web message, former Governor, Jeb Bush, described a new
eHealth portal, FloridaHealthStat.com as your "one stop site for
all of your health care questions and information." It has
now been improved and is part of FloridaHealthFinder.gov.
Having given the site a once-over, we'd say that it is quite an
improvement and very useful. We recommend everyone have a look at
this site. You don't have to be a Floridian to find it of value.The Florida Prescription Drug Prices website was developed by the Florida Attorney General's office and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to help consumers shop for the lowest price in their area for their prescription drugs. It provides pricing information for the 50 most commonly used prescription drugs in Florida. The prices are the "usual and customary prices," also known as retail prices, reported monthly by pharmacies. This is the price that an uninsured consumer, with no discount or supplemental plan, would normally pay. Prices at your local pharmacy may change daily, so this website is only meant to help you compare prices at different pharmacies an are not a guaranteed price. If you've attended any of our programs, you no doubt have heard president and founder Carolyn Raville mention her WALK EASY crutches. She is not given to promoting unless she knows the product is excellent, helpful and reasonably priced. We recommend a visit to WalkEasy.com to have a look at their walking aids and accessories, crutch evaluator, success anecdotes, and even a visitor survey. Ocala and Marion County are located on the edge of the Ocala National Forest and solidly in the heart of the thoroughbred race horse industry. We are also very centrally located for day trips to Daytona, Tampa and all that the Orlando area and its attractions have to offer. Visit our Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce. ...across the Nation
