Granholm Unveils Michigan Prescription Drug Discount Card:

MI Rx Card Offers Savings for Middle, Low Income Residents

FARMINGTON HILLS – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today unveiled the Michigan prescription drug discount card program that will lower prescription drug costs for some of the state’s one million uninsured residents.

The card is available to low income, working residents who do not have prescription drug coverage and are not enrolled in other government-sponsored prescription drug programs.

“The Michigan prescription drug discount card will provide much needed assistance for the low income working men, women and families who struggle with the high cost of prescription drugs,” Granholm said today. “With more than one million uninsured residents in Michigan, this card fills a critical gap in our health care system by making prescription drugs more affordable for those who have nowhere else to turn.”

To qualify for the program, family members must only be Michigan residents, have no other prescription drug coverage, and have an income level at or below the state’s median income level.

For a single individual, the median income level is $27,930. For a family of four that income level is $56,550.

OMG, I actually qualify for something for a change! WOW! Thank you Jennifer.
