Citizens of IL and WI now able to purchase Rx drugs from Europe and Canada

CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-Chicago) were joined in Chicago today by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle to launch the new I-SaveRx prescription drug importation program -- the first program in the nation to allow citizens to purchase lower cost, safe prescription drugs from Europe and Canada. Wisconsin is joining the new program developed by Illinois, providing approximately 18 million residents in the two states with access to lower-priced prescription drugs through a network of 45 inspected and approved pharmacies and wholesalers in Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Consumers in Wisconsin and Illinois can lookup I-SaveRx prices and start the enrollment process by calling toll-free 1-866-ISAVE33, or visiting www.I-SaveRx.net.

“Today, we are here to announce two things: First, beginning immediately, our prescription drug program, called I-Save Rx, is now open for business. Anyone who lives in Illinois can start saving money on their prescription drugs today. And second, I am delighted to announce that, thanks to the leadership of Governor Jim Doyle, the State Wisconsin is now joining our program,” said Gov. Blagojevich. “So now, the nearly 13 million people who live in Illinois, and the more than 5 million people who live in Wisconsin, will have the opportunity to save hundreds – and in some cases even thousands – of dollars each year on the high cost of their medicine. It means our seniors will no longer have to spend more money than they have just to afford the medicine they need.”

3. Yep, I agree

That's why I've sent it to my newly retired parents and other family members who are needing more and more medication every day. I'm hoping they pass it on to some of their friends. Perhaps they will realize, along with other news items, that this is definitely in jeopardy if the chimp holds the throne.
