Press Release Body = Press Release for Immediate Release:
HELP PEOPLE IN NEED ACCESS FREE MEDICATIONS


People across the United States are receiving their prescription drugs for free or
at a very low cost!!

The best keep secret in medicine today is the Patient Assistance Programs through
the pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The Free RX Community Awareness Project (FreeRXCAP), a not-for-profit program,
exists to aggressively educate and inform physicians, healthcare providers,
hospitals, charitable organizations and churches that Patient Assistance Programs
are available for people that struggle to afford their prescription medicines

Patient Assistance Programs have been available through pharmaceutical companies for
more than 50 years. In 2004, an estimated 22,119,664 prescriptions were filled with
a wholesale value of $4,179,393,960.00.

Patient Assistance Programs are for individuals whose incomes are above the state
Medicaid guidelines that have no prescription coverage. More than 46 million
Americans today are without health coverage. Approximately 8 out of 10 Americans
without health care coverage are in families that are actively employed at full-time
jobs or a series of part-time jobs. With both the increase of uninsured Americans
and the cost of medications, community awareness is essential.

The Patient Assistance Programs are for individuals of all ages nationwide:
families, students, singles, working people, unemployed or underemployed. These
programs are for individuals who have no public or private prescription drug
coverage.

Other circumstances that may qualify individuals because of the hardship of paying
retail prices are job turnover, divorce, students no longer on parents' health
coverage, and people taking care of loved ones and paying for their prescriptions
because they can't afford them.

FreeRXCAP helps get the medications to individuals that are having financial
hardship because of the increasing cost of medications. FreeRXCAP acts as a third
party advocate to get much needed medications in to the hands of people who need it
the most.

FreeRXCAP does much more than merely inform individuals of the programs, but works
with a company called Medwise, which acts as administrator, the liaison between the
patient, physician and the pharmaceutical manufacturers by filling out the
applications for the client and the doctor. The medications are sent directly to the
physician's office by the pharmaceutical companies for the client or someone they
designate to pick them up.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a financial hardship in obtaining
prescription medicines, you may qualify for the Patient Assistance Program through
U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers.
