25,000 Johnston residents do not have prescription drug coverage. Many other drug plans have gaps. Basic Needs Ministry started signing up residents for a discount prescription drug card, which is already used by 18,000,000 and honored by 57,000 pharmacies, including most pharmacies in Wake and Johnston Counties. The card will also assist those participants in plans, like the State Medical Plan, which have removed and reduced prescription drug availability in the past few years. 510 counties nationwide promote the program to all residents, but not Wake and Johnston. The average discount is 20%. If you are interested in the program for yourself or to help enroll our residents, please contact me. Our site is http://4042needs.org
