Medco Health Solutions Inc. is trying to fight a giant retailer for the wallets of older U.S. residents.
Medco, Franklin Lakes, N.J., has announced that its Medicare Part D prescription plan, the Medco YouRx Plan, offers a better value than the widely publicized $4 generic program developed by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Bentonville, Ark.
Wal-Mart is selling a 30-day supply of several hundred generic drugs for $4 per prescription.
