GOLD PROXY CARD . This proxy statement and the enclosed GOLD proxy card are being furnished to you, the stockholders of HealthWarehouse.com, by the Concerned Stockholders, who are Milfam I, L.P. and HWH Lending, LLC, each a long-term investor in the Company.

This proxy statement and the accompanying GOLD proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about July 25, 2013. According to the Company’s Form 8-K filed May 13, 2013, the Company has set August 15, 2013 as the date for the Annual Meeting. The Company has set July 1, 2013 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining which stockholders will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

All valid proxies received before the Annual Meeting will be voted, and stockholders have the power to revoke their proxies at any time before they are exercised.

Please do not return any proxy sent to you by the Company.

REASONS TO VOTE FOR OUR NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS

The following is a summary of our concerns about the Company’s performance and the failures of leadership by the incumbent Board of Directors. For these reasons and others, we are seeking representation on the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting:

For more information on how the past actions and practices of the board have adversely affected the Company and on how our Nominees will work to realize value for all stockholders of HealthWarehouse.com, please read the section below entitled “Statement in Support.”

BACKGROUND TO SOLICITATION

Below is a summary of our long-term investment and involvement with the Company, as well as the Company’s failures that led us to seek Board representation.

We are long-term investors. We have made numerous investments in the Company, including common stock, Series B preferred stock, convertible notes and warrants.

Our group’s objective is to improve governance and performance. In July 2012, the Concerned Stockholders formed a group to influence the corporate governance of the Company, including recommending candidates to the Board of Directors.

The Company violated its loan covenants . In December 2012, the Company’s 7% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued November 8, 2010 matured and became immediately due and payable, and the Company was in violation of its obligation to pay the notes upon maturity, as well as lien and debt covenants under these Notes. The Concerned Stockholders own a portion of these notes, as well as common stock, and sent notice to the Company of these violations and defaults. The Company did not cure these defaults until February 2013.

The Company failed to make required SEC filings . In February 2013, the Concerned Stockholders informed the Company that they were in violation of their filing obligations by failing to keep public information available and failing to file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required under public company disclosure rules. As of July 15, 2013, neither the 2012 annual report nor the quarterly report for the first quarter of 2013 had been filed.

A lawsuit is pending against the Company for failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders . In response to the Company’s violations of the Delaware General Corporation Law by, among other things, failing to hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2012 and earlier years, the Concerned Stockholders commenced an action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to compel the Company to hold an annual stockholders meeting for the election of directors and to establish an annual meeting date and related procedures. See HWH Lending, LLC and Milfam I, L.P. v. HealthWarehouse.com, Inc., Case No. 8427-VCN.

A lawsuit is pending against the Company for alleged misuse of Company funds . See HWH Lending, LLC, derivatively on behalf of HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. v. Lalit Dhadphale, et al., Case No. 8531-13 filed by HWH Lending, LLC, by its sole member, the Singer Children’s Management Trust.

The Company doubts its ability to continue as a going concern . The Company’s public filings, as well as the report of independent auditors included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, express “substantial doubt” about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the need for change on the Board of Directors is urgent.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT

For the reasons described in this Proxy Statement, we believe that the current board of directors of the company should be replaced. In particular, we are concerned by instability and recent resignations at the Company, as described in recent public resignation letters filed by a board member on April 29, 2013 as well as the CFO on February 21, 2013. These letters should not be construed as objective facts but rather as the beliefs of the director and the CFO. Quoting from the resignation letters publicly filed with the SEC by the director and the CFO of the Company:

Lack of confidence in strategic direction: A director resignation letter filed with the SEC in April 2013 stated: “I do not have confidence in the strategic direction the Company is pursuing, the approach the Company has used to raise money (including involving a disgraced former employee and convicted felon), the manner in which the CEO communicates (or more properly fails to communicate) with the Board of Directors, or the ability of the CEO to execute a successful strategy.”

Board’s efforts to block change: The director resignation letter continued: “I have tried to effect constructive change at the Company through my role on the Board, but these efforts have been blocked on repeated occasions by Company management and by a sympathetic majority of the Board.”

Lack of information provided to the Board; lack of oversight: The director resignation letter continued: “Information about the performance of the Company is not made available to members of the Board (or at least not to me), so it is impossible to perform a fiduciary oversight role.”

Failure to take appropriate financial measures: A resignation letter filed with the SEC by the Company’s CFO in February 2013 stated: “I would like to reiterate, that as the CFO, I do not think I have been permitted to take the appropriate measures that were or are necessary to solidify the Company’s optimal financial position, nor have I been allowed to exercise the full responsibilities required as an officer of the Company.”

Furthermore, we are concerned by material weaknesses in financial controls at the Company and a delay in filing the 2012 audit. Quoting from page 4 of the Company’s annual report for 2011:

Weak control environment and potential for the misappropriation of Company assets : “Although the Auditors had not concluded that an illegal act had occurred, because the Company’s weak control environment and unresolved items suggested a potential for the misappropriation of Company assets, the Auditors recommended that the Board engage an independent third-party to review the unresolved items and assist it with identifying and remediating the control deficiencies.”

Controls not adequate : And further, the Company disclosed: “The Company’s controls, policies and procedures relating to the use of Company credit cards and Company bank accounts and the reimbursement of employee business expenses were not adequate to ensure that all relevant transactions were authorized in accordance with Company policy, documented appropriately or recorded correctly in the Company’s accounting system.”

For all the reasons described in this Proxy Statement, we believe that the incumbent board of directors has failed in its oversight function and should be replaced. We ask you to vote the GOLD proxy card FOR the Stockholder Nominees.

ABOUT OUR NOMINEES

Our nominees for the Board of Directors have extensive experience in technology related businesses, as well as public company management and board experience. We believe that our Nominees have the qualifications to improve governance and are seeking to bring new business ideas to the Company at a time of declining stock price. One of the Stockholder Nominees, Mr. Stecker, has served on the Board for more than two years.

Experience and qualifications of our Nominees

ROBERT M. PONS (age 57) has over 30 years of senior level management experience including early stage ventures, Fortune 500 and turnaround companies. Currently, Mr. Pons is Chairman of Livewire Mobile, one of the most comprehensive one-stop digital content solutions for carriers, handset manufacturers and media companies entering the mobile content market. Prior to Livewire Mr. Pons was Senior Vice President of Capital Markets for TMNG, a leading provider of professional services to the converging communications media and entertainment industries and the capital formation firms that support it. Prior to TMNG he was CEO of Uphonia/SmartServ Inc. a publicly traded firm in the wireless industry. Uphonia/SmartServ was completely recapitalized and repositioned under his leadership. As an early pioneer of the competitive telecommunications industry, he was a senior level executive working with both landline and wireless systems. Originating his telecommunications experience in 1980 at MCI, Mr. Pons opened the New England markets, growing them from start-up to a $100 million division. He served as a special advisor to the President of MCI during the company’s highest growth years and was featured in the book On The Line—History of MCI. In 1986, Mr. Pons was recruited by the President of Sprint to manage its Northeast Sales division with over $750 million in revenue.

MATTHEW STECKER (age 44) has been a Director of the Company since December 2010 and a leading executive in the telecommunications and mobile content industries for 20 years. Since January 2011, Mr. Stecker has served on the board of directors and compensation committee of HealthWarehouse, Inc. (OTC: HEWA). Since November 2009, Mr. Stecker has been the Chief Executive Officer of Livewire Mobile, Inc (OTCMarkets: LVWR) and also serves on its board of directors. Prior to coming to Livewire, Mr. Stecker was Senior Vice President and Principal for the telecommunications consulting firm TMNG (NASD:TMNG) and its strategy subsidiary CSMG.

Mr. Stecker has more than two years’ experience as a director of HealthWarehouse, having served on the Board since January 2011. If elected, he will vacate his Board position as the director appointee of the Series B Preferred Stockholders. Therefore, his nomination for election to the Board is to be elected by a vote of all of the Company’s stockholders at the Meeting.

Independence of our Nominees

We have determined that each of the director nominees satisfy the current “independent director” standards established by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. We have determined that our Nominees do not have any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director. There are no family relationships among any of the Stockholder Nominees or the executive officers of the Company.

The Concerned Stockholders do not expect that any of the Stockholder Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but in the event that such persons are unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the Shares represented by the enclosed GOLD Proxy Card will be voted for substitute nominees, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) and applicable law. In addition, the Concerned Stockholders reserve the right to nominate substitute persons if the Company makes or announces any changes to its Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any or all of the Stockholder Nominees, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, Shares represented by the enclosed GOLD Proxy Card will be voted for such substitute nominees.

You are urged to vote FOR the election of the Stockholder Nominees on the enclosed GOLD proxy card.

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

Votes. Only holders of common stock, Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Shares”) and Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Shares”) of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock and each Series C Share is entitled to one vote, and as of the Record Date, each Series B Share is entitled to cast 8.22 votes. Stockholders who sell shares before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote those shares. Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell their shares after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, we believe that the only outstanding classes of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are the common stock, the Series B Shares and the Series C Shares.

Series B Shares.  Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred Stock, for so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect, as a separate class, one member of the Board at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company’s stockholders. The Concerned Stockholders hold in excess of 90% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and therefore control the ability to elect one member to the Company’s Board. Mr. Stecker was appointed by a majority of the holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock as the initial Series B Director in December 2010. If he is elected as a Director pursuant to this proxy statement, Mr. Stecker will resign as the Series B Director. The Concerned Stockholders do not currently intend to elect a replacement Series B Director.

Voting of GOLD proxy cards. Shares represented by properly executed GOLD proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted FOR the election of the Stockholder Nominees to the board and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Shares held in street name. If your shares are held in “street name,” whether through a broker, bank or other nominee, only such bank, broker or other nominee can sign the GOLD proxy card with respect to your shares. You are therefore urged to contact the person(s) responsible for your account and give them instructions for how to complete a GOLD proxy card representing your shares so that a GOLD proxy card can be timely returned on your behalf. You also should confirm in writing your instructions to the person(s) responsible for your account and provide a copy of those instructions to our proxy solicitor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group LLC, so that they can attempt to ensure that your instructions are followed. If you wish instead to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

QUORUM

In order to conduct any business at the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present in person or represented by valid proxies. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes represented by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Votes for and against, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL; ABSTENTIONS AND WITHHOLD VOTES

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning that the four (4) nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. Only votes cast FOR a nominee will be counted. If you return the enclosed GOLD proxy card, unless indicated otherwise thereon, your shares will be voted FOR ALL of the three (3) nominees named in Proposal No. 1 in this proxy statement. The remaining directorship is likely to be filled by one of the Company's nominees. If the Stockholder Nominees are elected, some or all of the Company nominees may refuse to serve, resulting in vacancies on the board. Under the Company's bylaws such vacancies shall be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office. The Concerned Stockholders currently do not have any plans to fill any such vacancy. Instructions on the accompanying GOLD proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more of the nominees will result in those nominees receiving fewer votes but will not count as a vote “AGAINST” the nominees. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because such broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will also result in those nominees receiving fewer votes but will not count as a vote “AGAINST” the nominees. Stockholders have no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Proposals No. 2 and No. 3 require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast on a proposal, and as a result, have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Proposal No. 4 seeks an advisory vote from the Company’s stockholders on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation. The choices are every year, every other year, or every third year. A plurality of votes cast on this proposal will determine the frequency selected by stockholders. The Concerned Stockholders recommend that you select one year as the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation. If you submit your proxy card but fail to select a preference, your shares will be treated as though you chose a frequency of one year on this proposal.

PLEASE VOTE THE GOLD PROXY CARD; NO DISCRETIONARY VOTING

If your shares are held in “street name,” whether through a broker, bank or other nominee, only such bank, broker or other nominee can sign the GOLD proxy card with respect to your shares. A “broker non-vote” occurs if you do not give specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote your shares on your behalf with respect to the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on the election of directors. If you fail to provide voting instructions, your broker will have no discretionary authority to vote your shares on your behalf with respect to the election of directors and your shares will not be voted for any of the Stockholder Nominees. We strongly encourage you to contact the person(s) responsible for your account and give them instructions for how to complete a GOLD proxy card representing your shares so that a GOLD proxy card can be timely returned on your behalf and your vote will be counted at the Annual Meeting.

PROXY REVOCATION RIGHTS

Any stockholder who has executed and returned a proxy, whether solicited by the Company or by the Concerned Stockholders, may revoke it at any time before the proxy is voted. A proxy may be revoked by sending a written revocation of such proxy to our solicitor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, or to the Secretary of the Company, by submitting another proxy with a later date marked on it, or by appearing in person at the Annual Meeting and voting. If, however, you hold your shares through a bank or broker and wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from that firm in order to be able to vote in person. Attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy unless you actually vote at the meeting.

Remember, only the latest dated proxy card will be counted. Therefore, we urge you to sign and return the GOLD proxy card accompanying this proxy statement.

There is no limit on the number of times that a stockholder may revoke a proxy prior to the Annual Meeting. If you send written revocation of your proxy to the Secretary of the Company, we request that you send either the original or a copy of that revocation to Laurel Hill Advisory Group at the address on the last page of this proxy statement. This will allow us to more accurately determine if and when the requisite number of proxies have been received.

PLEASE NOTE, that in order to vote FOR the election of the Stockholder Nominees as directors of the Company, you will need to complete and return the GOLD proxy card.

PROXY SOLICITATION AND EXPENSES

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile, e-mail, newspapers and other publications of general distribution and in person. In connection with this solicitation of proxies, banks, brokers, custodians, nominees, other institutional holders and other fiduciaries will be asked to forward all soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the shares that those institutions hold of record. We will reimburse those institutions for reasonable expenses that they incur in connection with forwarding these materials.

We have retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group to solicit proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting. Laurel Hill Advisory Group will employ approximately 10 people in its efforts. We have agreed to reimburse Laurel Hill Advisory Group for its reasonable expenses and to pay fees currently expected to be approximately $20,000, which includes a $10,000 contingent fee payable upon election of the Stockholder Nominees, with approximately $12,000 of expenditures to date.

The Concerned Stockholders and the Stockholder Nominees may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile, e-mail or in person. They will not be paid for soliciting proxies.

Additional costs related to this solicitation of proxies include expenditures for printing, postage, legal services and other related items. We are bearing the entire expense of this proxy solicitation. Total expenditures are expected to be approximately $200,000, with approximately $55,000 of expenditures to date.

We will seek reimbursement of all solicitation expenses from the Company and do not currently intend to seek a vote of the stockholders for approval of such reimbursement.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED
AT THE COMPANY’S NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

As described in the Company’s proxy statement, Stockholder proposals intended for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act must be directed to the Corporate Secretary, HealthWarehouse.com, Inc., 7107 Industrial Road, Florence, Kentucky 41042 and must be received by March 12, 2014. In order for proposals of stockholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” for consideration at the 2014 annual meeting under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, such proposals must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the above address by May 26, 2014 and must comply with the informational requirements of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. However, in the event that the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders is convened more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2013 Annual Meeting, notice for a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8 must be received a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the 2014 annual meeting. Shareholder proposals for consideration at the 2014 annual meeting submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws must be received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day before the 2014 annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE VOTED UPON

Proposal 2 - Company Proposal to Ratify Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As discussed in the Company proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2013, the Board has selected Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013

The Concerned Stockholders intend to vote their shares FOR this proposal as we do not object to the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Proposal 3 - Advisory Vote on Compensation of the Named Executive Officers

We are seeking your support in voting AGAINST the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement, including the compensation tables and related narrative discussion.”

We feel that a vote AGAINST this resolution will send an appropriate message to the Company and to the market generally that the Company’s stockholders do not believe that the Company’s executive compensation practices and amounts currently reflect appropriate compensation for the Company’s past and current performance, nor do they appropriately align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with its stockholders. The vote on this proposal is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board. We believe that the Company’s Board needs to realign its executive compensation philosophy, and therefore, we do not support approving the Company’s advisory vote on the Executive Compensation.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act gave stockholders the opportunity to show their disapproval of corporate pay practices for executive officers, on an advisory basis, by adding Section 14A to the Exchange Act. As we set forth in the Reasons for This Solicitation section above, the Concerned Stockholders believe that this Board and the Company have not aligned executive pay with shareholder returns in light of the Company’s declining stock price and negative returns to stockholders in 2012.

The Concerned Stockholders oppose proposal 3 and recommend that stockholders vote “AGAINST” the Company proposal for stockholder approval of executive compensation.

Proposal 4 - Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Compensation of the Named Executive Officers

We believe that a vote of ONE YEAR on this Proposal will help demonstrate that the Company’s stockholders are active and engaged in the process of turning around the Company. If our recommendation is adopted by the stockholders, the next “say-on-pay” vote would be held at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Concerned Stockholders recommend an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. We believe it is important for the Company to receive frequent feedback from its stockholders in a range of areas, especially in executive compensation.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the Company to provide stockholders with the opportunity to indicate at least once every six years, on an advisory basis, their preference as to the frequency of future advisory votes (once every one, two or three years) on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The Company has recommended that stockholders vote on future “say-on-pay” votes every year.

The Concerned Stockholders recommend that stockholders vote for “ONE YEAR” as the preferred frequency for advisory approvals of executive compensation.

The GOLD proxy card will provide you the opportunity to vote on the Company’s proposals, other than the election of directors by the Company’s stockholders. For more information about these proposals, please refer to the proxy statement and form of proxy when it is distributed by the Company.

If no direction is given, proxies held by us will vote FOR, and recommends that common stockholders vote FOR the following proposals:

¨  Proposal 1 – Election of each of Alan Howe, Robert Pons and Matthew Stecker as directors, and

¨  Proposal 2 – Proposal to ratify selection of auditors.

If no direction is given, proxies held by us will vote AGAINST, and recommends that common stockholders vote AGAINST the following proposal(s):

¨  Proposal 3 – Proposal to approve the compensation of the named executive officers.

If no direction is given, proxies held by us will vote for ONE YEAR, and recommends that common stockholders vote for ONE YEAR on the following proposal:

¨  Proposal 4 – Frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Proxies held by us will vote FOR any proposal by the Concerned Stockholders to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies, unless the signed GOLD proxy contains instructions to the contrary.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

Your vote is an important voice in the affairs of this Company.
