Governor Jennifer M. Granholm has announced that 30,000 uninsured people have signed up for the MI-Rx prescription drug discount card since it became available one year ago.

To qualify for the card, family members must be Michigan residents, have no other prescription drug coverage, and have an income below the state’s median income. This means an uninsured family of four that makes $56,000 a year, or a single individual without health insurance who makes $28,000 a year, would be eligible to apply.

The service is free and the card can be used at more than 2,000 pharmacies statewide. Applications are available at pharmacies throughout Michigan or by calling (866) 755-6479.
