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

Nope, wrong.  My aunt is on this card and they jack up the price of the prescription before you receive your discount. They certainly ~accept~ your card everywhere, but they run the card to see how much they have to jack up the price - in one incident, a $100 medication suddenly became $300+ for my aunt when she showed them the card. Maybe this doesn’t happen everywhere, but enough for me to call complete bullshit on this “discount” in all circumstances.
