Mike's prescription discount card
To: Suzannahartist
Hey my friend, here's one for you:
Regardingtoday's articles on the "prescription discount card", BigAppleRx.com, eg
http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/05/19/city-offers-discount-card-for-drug-prescriptions/
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/mike_prescription_for_nyc_uninsured_g5CWPqQmik0G8n5y4NQ5rI
Apparently this service was already available free to anyone in the country: http://www.pathtobettercare.com/Pages/GetCard.aspx Not sure what's different about"BigAppleRx.com", other than turning an already existing free program into a PR opportunity for Bloomberg/Quinn. I have to call this a blatant PR move to counter the negative reactions to the Bloomberg service budget cuts. Having BigAppleRx.com might even be ultimately a more expensive way to get the service to NYC'ers compared to simply encouraging people to use the existing service.
cheers
