FWIW, My mom and dad live on ss and a small pension. They get many of their drugs for free. He calls the drug companies, tells them of his plight and either no cost or low cost drugs are on their way. My mom takes two different alzheimers drugs and i believe both are gotten for free. mike

I agree kholt.Doctors give out their free drug samples all the time to those in need.Its under the radar but its much more common than many people realize.You could say its even subsidized by big Pharma. Hell, my doctor gives me free samples whenever I go to an appointment. Some times I don't have to fill a prescription, he just hands me a hatfull of samples and sends me on my way. When you have a whole closet full of samples from the drug companies at your practice, why not? Derek
