Amazon has for Prime Members: Amazon RxPass Monthly Subscription Program on sale for $5/month (no matter how many meds you take)
Thanks to Community Member SUCHaDEAL for posting this deal.
Note, Amazon RxPass is exclusive to Amazon Prime members only
Program features:
RxPass is a benefit for Prime members that gives subscribers access to the most common generic medications for a flat fee of $5 a month. Subscribers can get all their prescribed medications on the RxPass list filled as often as they need for one flat monthly fee. RxPass also works with auto-refill so that you get all your eligible prescriptions automatically for no more than $5 a month.
You cannot use an HSA or FSA to pay your RxPass subscription fee. RxPass is not insurance and is not a substitute for insurance.
You can cancel RxPass anytime. You will still be able to use RxPass for the rest of the month you've paid for, and you will not be charged again. Canceling a Prime membership will also result in canceling RxPass.
RxPass does restrict eligibility based on insurance and the state where medications will be shipped. People with government-funded insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid are not eligible sign up for RxPass right now. Additionally, RxPass is not currently available to send medications to California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Texas, and Washington. Amazon Pharmacy is still available in all of those states

I use this and it works really well!! $5 per month for meds on the list.
Some meds that I know family members take cost lower through amazon (without insurance option) vs with insurance and a copay
example: levothyroxin - without insurance, $3.98 through amazon, with insurance, $5 copay at walmart
Even cheaper for a 90 day supply through amazon ($9.95 without insurance)

Health insurance is a racket to be honest with you. It's there to support a massive industrial complex that is now so big, we can't get rid of it, because it would put so many people out of work. Yet all that extra paperwork is costing us all so much more in complexity, resources and headaches.
On top of it, health insurance keeps prices up, not down. I'm convinced they're negotiating the prices up and get a kickback somehow on the back.
The affordable care act is anything but when you factor in useless insurance companies and the approx. 2 trillion the federal government is now spending on healthcare (including Medicare) per year. Completely broken system

If I was without work, and no longer able to stay on employer insurance plan, I would sure be happy we have ACA and the insurance plans there. Do you have a better realistic and practical solution?
Reality is that, no privatized "insurance" is going to fix our health care problem. We needed to basically abandon privatized insurance, and go full universal healthcare. For those that still want to pay a shit ton of money for private expedient care, they can.
The problem with that is what it always has been, which is the health insurance industry is too large to get rid of. We're basically feeding into this system that doesn't really work for us, but at the same time we need because so many of us work in that system.
For anyone that depends on meds to function, I would recommend to build up a stash of pills as backup (normally prescriptions are filed before they run out so it's easy to do that). I have a good two weeks worth of excess just for in case. Load and behold, my first order was delayed for a week because they were damaged during transit (which they never told me until I contacted chat). The last one also got damaged but I pushed them and got it in two days (so four days total). Be mindful of the drawbacks before jumping into this. Is all this worth your time and sanity let alone missed dosage?

Cost Plus Drugs is also a great place to look.

Just something to add: it's only cheaper if that's your only medication. It 5/month for all medications (not $5 per med.)
