Today in Useful Fucking Things That No One Tells You About: the Prescription Assistance Program (PAP) offers a discount drug card to uninsured Americans. The card is accepted at over 56,000 pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens, and Safeway, and offers a discount of up to 75%.
I was fired a few years ago and was afraid I would have to give up my antidepressants, but my dad told me about the drug card. With it, I paid $30 instead of $60. Still kinda pricey, but I was able to afford them until I found a new job (and since they were for my social anxiety, I have no doubt they helped during interviews).
Share this. I’m sure there are a ton of unemployed and uninsured people who don’t know about this.
So important, definitely spread this.
That one time I wasn’t on psych meds because I couldn’t afford them.
LIFE SAVING INFORMATION, PEOPLE
WHAT THE SHIT, WHY DIDN’T I KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE I GOT INSURANCE AGAIN
these cards are good if your medication comes in a generic. usually they don’t help very much if your drugs are name brand.
Of course if you’re trans and do HRT? Doesn’t do shit for you. What a surprise. But if you have any other meds…
