The big pharmaceutical companies each give away more than $200 million worth of drugs a year to people who are uninsured.
It's called the Partnership for Prescription Assistance. Pharmaceutical companies provide free medicines to people with too much money to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford health insurance.
Rules for getting free prescriptions vary, but typically an individual making less than $21,000 a year or a family of 4 living on less than $44,000 would qualify.
