quote: Prescription drug costs are rising even as many people are out of work and losing their health care coverage, but big pharmaceutical companies give away more than $200 million in prescription medication each year to the uninsured.
The Partnership for Prescription Assistance works with pharmaceutical companies to provide free medicines to people with too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford health insurance.
Rules on free prescriptions vary, but typically a person who makes less than $21,000 a year, or a family of four that lives on less than $44,000, would be eligible, Leamy said.
