The idea of obtaining prescription medicines at little or no cost with a lot less hassle caught Andy Sukut’s attention Tuesday. So much so that the retiree interrupted a pool game at the South Side Senior Center to hear Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon talk about the idea.”We’ve got limited income, and all the medicines keep going up and up and up,” said Sukut, who joined those listening while dozens of other seniors lunched on veal or turkey in another room.
Nixon unveiled his Prescription Drug Access Technology Initiative at 2215 S. Fremont Ave. The program will allow health care providers to surf the Internet for free or reduced-cost prescription drugs from 200 different programs.
