San Bernardino County Joins Drug Discount Card Program

On Tuesday, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors voted to join the Coast2Coast Rx discount prescription drug card program. According to officials, the program -- which covers more than 60,000 medications -- helped users in 2010 save an average of 45% on prescriptions. The card also offers savings of up to 50% on dental, vision, hearing and diabetes supplies, and up to 80% on lab and imaging tests.
