First, if we had data, we would try to quantify the traveling costs. However, traveling costs can be easily overestimated because individuals are unlikely to go to WalMart or Target just to pick up $4 drugs; they go there for other things or stop over on their way. In addition, traveling costs will not be a main concern as more stores (eg, Walgreens, CVS, local regional grocery stores) offer low-cost generics and mail-order option of these programs becomes available.2
