Today in Arizona there is a desperate need to make prescriptions more readily available for the uninsured and the underinsured. When it comes to prescription drugs, Arizonans without health insurance are disadvantaged twice over. First, they lack the insurance coverage to pay for the drugs. As a result, adults without insurance are half as likely to get the benefits of prescription drugs as insured adults, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Second, they pay higher prices than anyone else. With 19.6 percent of Arizonans lacking health insurance, this issue is significant as the number of uninsured continue to grow. The Kaiser Foundation also reported that in 2007, Arizonans spent over $3 billion on prescription drugs, with the average cost of each prescription at $54.07. As the numbers of uninsured remain high and the cost of prescription drugs continues to grow, http://www. SavingsDrugCard. com (http://www. SavingsDrugCard. com) is a great way to help provide relief at no cost to the user.
