According to Google it is:
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=learn+more+about+Medicare-approved+drug+discount+site%3Amy.webmd.com&btnG=Search&meta=

a French newspaper thinks it isn't, a blogosphere note on the news
aspect of this subject:
http://www.corante.com/mooreslore/archives/2005/03/29/google_vs_news_inc.php
"organizations like AP, Kyodo and ... Agence France-Presse have gone
after Google News with their lawyers. They don't want the
competition.
You will note, if you use Google News today, that not only are there
no indirect links to Agence France-Presse stories..., but there are
no direct links to AP stories, either. On the other hand, you will
find AP all over Yahoo."

oops, looks like we did it again.

cheers,
