Jean Mauer has medical insurance, yet she still spends about $100 a month on prescription drugs. “Without insurance, my prescriptions would cost me thousands of dollars a year,” said the 69-year-old Henrietta resident. It is for Mauer and others  — especially those without insurance — that Rochester-based grocery chain Wegmans Food Markets announced Tuesday it will fill prescriptions for certain generic oral antibiotics for free from now until March 31.
