Free Discount Prescription Cards

The cards are on the bookcase behind the reference desk (more are under the desk by the network printer).

On Thursday, the city announced a new prescription drug program that provides discounts to those who need it most.

The program promises to pay up to 40 percent of a prescription drugs cost and it's accepted at most major pharmacies. So how is it possible?

While anyone can use the card, if you have insurance you are probably already getting a better deal for prescription medications.

It's called the Coast to Coast RX card. It offers discounts on prescription drugs to anyone who uses it. The card will soon be made available to residents within the city of Houston to anyone who wants one.

If you present the card at participating pharmacies, we're told you'll receive a discount of about 40 percent. There are about 60,000 drugs covered by the card and it will be accepted at places like CVS, Walgreens and even Walmart pharmacies.
