your own copy, or use an online, interactive version of the

Pharmacists Are There For You - They Care
For generations, your Pharmacist has been there for you to answer questions
about your prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, health services,
allergic reactions to various medications, and much more.
At the national level, Pharmacists have joined
together to create a web site to help you with Medicare Discount Card choices.
Because this is such an important step in your healthcare for the next several
years, Pharmacists want to be sure you make the right decision. Visit
www.healthdecisions.org/guide for a quick-reference guide to
Medicare 2007.
State Assistance Programs
Once you begin to research the specific Medicare Discount Cards online, you may
have the opportunity to learn about State Assistance Programs. For Indiana, it's
the
Hoosier Rx program. Details can be found on the Medicare
web site or ask your Pharmacist.
