RENTON, WA - May 4, 2005 When Adam Burke visited his 78-year-old
aunt last Thanksgiving he was dismayed to learn that her monthly bill
at a local pharmacy for her diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure
medications topped 0. This amount was a heavy financial burden for
someone living on Social Security. As a healthcare provider, Burke
knew that these same medications could be ordered from licensed
pharmacies on the Internet at considerable discounts. After a quick
online search, he was able to order all of her medications, delivered
to her door, for about 0 per month a savings of greater than 40
percent.
Millions of senior citizens order their medications online everyday,
but there are also millions of seniors who do not even own a computer.
Burke discovered that 54 percent of adults over 65 either do not have
access to or do not use the Internet. He believed, however, that every
senior should have equal access to the discount prescription drug
prices available online. When he returned home he got a few of his
retired friends interested in creating a non-profit organization and
the Drugs4Seniors Helpline was soon in operation.
Now, seniors who don't even own a computer can order their branded and
generic medications at the discounted prices available online by
simply dialing, toll-free, 877-595-MEDS (6337), 24 hours a day. The
helpline provides access to the most popular medications for treating
such common conditions as arthritis, blood pressure, cholesterol,
sexual health, diabetes, depression, pain relief, digestive disorders,
allergies, sleep disorders, asthma and more. The helpline also adds
new medications on a regular basis and soon will offer over 300
pharmaceutical products at discounted prices.
According to Bill Betz, Drugs4seniors Helpline Director, "We are
constantly searching the Internet for licensed pharmacies that offer
the highest quality products at the lowest prices. We even offer a
lowest-price guarantee. Perhaps that's why our calls have quadrupled
in the last two months. And yes, anyone, senior citizen or not, may
use our toll-free helpline. We simply are directing our services
towards seniors as that group as a whole suffers the most from the
high cost of prescription drugs."
It is widely recognized that our healthcare system is in critical
condition. One area of the crisis demanding the attention of the
public, lawmakers, insurance companies, and healthcare providers is
the ever-increasing cost of prescription drugs. According to Families
USA, a national non-profit health-care organization, nearly half of
all Medicare beneficiaries, 18.4 million people, do not have year-
round prescription drug insurance coverage. Drugs4seniors is another
step in helping all of our senior citizens, computer literate or not,
lower their drug costs.
