Many people in America have some form of insurance. However, a sizable portion of our fellow Americans face high cost of prescription drugs when do not have employer health insurance or Medicaid, or Medicare. They are forced to pay cash to get their prescriptions. They can use prescription discount cards such as from Affordablemeds.org. When these patients must pay for their medications and cannot afford the cost of the medications, they may be able to use Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs). PAPs are usually sponsored by pharmaceutical manufacturers, are promoted as a “safety net” with the goal to provide financial assistance to help these patients access drugs for little or no cost.
