County tables drug card discussion
By Jeff Lundquist
NT Editor
ATLANTIC – The Cass County Board of Supervisors have tabled a decision on a prescription drug discount card until board member Charles Rieken can report back with more information.
Last month, representatives from two companies offering the cards met with the board to explain the program, which provides residents around 20 percent on certain name-brand and generic drugs. There is no charge to the county or the residents for the service.
Under both proposals the cards would be distributed to local pharmacies and where they would be available to the public.
Board member Dave Dunfee questioned what role the county played in the process and why either company couldn’t contact residents on their own.
The board made no decision deciding to wait until Rieken returned from a meeting with other county officials where he would ask if they were involved with either organization and if they were having any problems.
