YSK: pharmaceutical companies often have discounts but you need to tell them "I cannot afford my medications"
This is specific to the USA.
Why YSK: Medication cost is a major issue affecting the health and financial well-being of many people in the US.
Anyone who's seen a drug advertisement has heard the phrase "If you cannot afford your medications (pharmaceutical company) may be able to help".
Many pharmaceutical companies have coupon programs, but sometimes that's not enough, not to mention that many people aren't eligible for these programs (primarily people on Medicare or Medicaid).
Many pharmaceutical companies have additional discounts for people who can't afford their medications, but the patient has to contact the pharmaceutical company and tell them "I cannot afford my medication" to access those discounts. In most cases their representatives are not allowed to inquire about affordability so the patient has to spontaneously tell them.
