New Discount Card Will Make Drugs More Affordable


Nearly half a million New Yorkers will soon be able to buy prescription drugs at a more affordable price. A new pharmaceutical card, included in this year's health budget, will allow people between the ages of 50 and 64 to buy generic medications at a 30 to 60 percent discount.

Those who are 65 and older already have comprehensive drug coverage through the state's Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage program. These new cards will assist some of those who have fallen through the cracks.
