Brazos saves $1.2 million on prescriptions

Another success story to tell about the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program. This time from Brazos County, Texas.

As reported here in the Bryon College Station Eagle, Brazos County officials announced that the program has saved their constituents over $1.2 million in prescription drug costs.

Terrific savings for a county of about 155,000 residents.

The county has distributed the free card for three years as a result of its membership in NACo.

"This is one of the greatest projects that we as commissioners and we as citizens in Brazos County have been involved in," said County Judge Randy Sims.
