Nutmeggers! Let's end the sales tax on doctor-prescribed over-the-counter medicines! Medical care is not the appropriate source for state revenue. Tell Hartford that they need to either curb spending or raise revenue elsewhere.
Why is this important?
The State of Connecticut charges sales tax for doctor-prescribed over-the-counter medicine, such as Mucinex and Triaminic. I brought this to the attention of a State Representative and - heard nothing.
My child had pneumonia and part of her protocol, per her pediatrician, was over-the-counter medicines. Rite Aid charged sales tax. When I asked the clerk if the billing was correct, she sadly said yes.
What a poor way to raise state revenue!
