Drug Discount Card News

April, the first month for our drug discount card, saw nearly 300 people save an average of 35% on their prescriptions. One person saw the cost of his oncololgy medication drop from $500 to $60 - nearly a 90% savings. Although that savings isn't typical, most people who use the card do save.
