Health Care Gems

Thank you all so much for your feedback and stories! My apologies if not all posts have made it to the blog - There was quite a response! I have; however, read all of them and empathize with your frustrations. I certainly do hope we see some changes. I am still collecting stories despite this new post.
This post is created in response to all the helpful "Gems" that friends have provided (please feel free to respond with more resources!):

PBS - 7 minutes discussion with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel re: a plan for access to all http://www.pbs.org/now/news/315.html

Oregon Prescription Drug Program - all Oregon Residents qualify for big savings. Enrolling is painless, online, and less than 2 minutes of your time.

Washington Prescription Drug Program - my instructor is on the advisory committee of this program and states that it is sorely underused.

$4 Wal-mart prescriptions - though not previously a big fan of Walmart, this is a nice program
