THOUSANDS OF HARDWORKING PEOPLE, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHO ARE WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION-DRUG COVERAGE ARE NOW GETTING A BREAK--WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING THEIR MEDICATIONS. THAT'S THANKS TO A NEW PROGRAM FROM THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES THAT'S MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH LOCAL COUNTY-GOVERNMENTS. TO START SAVING ON PRESCRIPTIONS, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GET A CARD--AT NO COST. MANY OF THE OVER-14-HUNDRED PARTICIPATING-COUNTIES HAVE CARDS AVAILABLE IN THEIR GOVERNMENT-BUILDINGS--WHILE OTHERS HAVE THEM AVAILABLE AT LOCAL MERCHANTS. YOU CAN ALSO JUST PRINT THE CARDS ONLINE. THERE ARE NO AGE- OR INCOME-RESTRICTIONS--AND ONE DISCOUNT-CARD WILL COVER AN ENTIRE FAMILY, INCLUDING PETS. MORE THAN 60-THOUSAND PHARMACIES, NATIONWIDE--INCLUDING BOTH BIG CHAINS AND STANDALONE LOCATIONS--ACCEPT THE CARD. YOU CAN USE YOUR CARD ANYTIME YOUR PRESCRIPTION ISN'T COVERED BY INSURANCE--WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITS ON HOW MANY TIMES YOU USE IT. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT W-W-W-DOT-"N-A-C-O"-DOT-ORG.
