New prescription discount card for residents

Horry County officials rolled out a plan Wednesday to make prescription drugs cheaper for residents. The plan offers a prescription discount card that could bring an average of 28% savings.
The county started handing out the cards Wednesday morning at Nye's Pharmacy. Horry County Spokesperson Lisa Bourcier said anyone is eligible for the program, and it's targeted to help people with little to no insurance coverage.
The drug-card program already exists in hundreds of counties across the U.S. and at least 18 in South Carolina. Prescription discount cards come in English and Spanish.
To become eligible, all you have to do is pick up a free, prescription discount card at a number of locations around the county including libraries and health departments.
The new program will go into affect January 1st.
