No one should have to ration insulin or choose which refills to get when they need them. While many of the most impactful legislative changes on controlling the cost of prescription drugs must be addressed at the federal level, as a state we need to develop creative solutions. I am committed to finding ways we can address this growing issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0eb3c4\">Here is some information that you may find useful as you head to the pharmacy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Know your rights:<\/strong> Michigan law requires pharmacies to share drug prices with consumers.<br>\u2022 <strong>Compare prices:<\/strong> The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services maintains <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/michigandrugprices.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MichiganDrugPrices.com<\/a>,<br>which allows you to compare and save money without ever stepping foot in a pharmacy.<br>\u2022 <strong>Prescription discount cards: <\/strong>The MiRx (My Prescription) Card is a prescription drug discount program for Michigan residents who do not have prescription drug coverage. The MiRx Card program is free; there is no cost for the card or to enroll in the program. MiRx cardholders can take their prescription and their MiRx card to their local participating pharmacy, where the pharmacist will fill the prescription and charge the MiRx discounted price. The discount covers any medicine the pharmacist stocks and that your doctor prescribes, except for over-the counter drugs. For more information, please visit <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mihealth.org\/MiRx\/\" target=\"_blank\">MIHealth.org\/MiRx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pharmacies often also offer free discount cards to consumers who do not have insurance or who have very high co-pays. While these discount cards can offer significant savings, it is important to be aware that companies will<br>sometimes use these cards as a scam to require you to pay more in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>No one should have to ration insulin or choose which refills to get when they need them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>-Sen.
