It provides an easy way for individuals without health insurance or without prescription drug coverage to save 20-75 percent when buying prescription medications. The card can be used by anyone, not just seniors. But the card also helps seniors who are enrolled in the government"s Medicare Part D prescription program. When these individuals find themselves struggling in the "donut hole" -- the gap between the prescription drug expenses Medicare D covers -- the Rx card may be used to obtain a discount.
