I've been telling people who say they're losing their insurance, they don't have drug coverage, or their income is too low (or all of the above) for quite some time that there are free drug programs out there.

They're often called "Patient assistance" or "patient assist" in doctors offices. Here's one such site where you can print out the app yourself and bring all the pertinent info so your doc just has to sign off and mail it in:

http://www.rxassist.org/providers/default.cfm

Enter your medication, select the correct version of it, and voila, they tell you what programs are available.

Now, you can find other sites that do the same thing. All I did was Google "free prescription drug programs." Check it out. Some of you may already be qualified to get these free meds.
