    If you’re a veteran of high cost prescription medication, you’ve probably found the dark and seedy discount card corners of the internet.
    Being a licensed health insurance agent, I often looked down on those discount cards from my health insurance high horse. They all had the feeling of a late night infomercial that I wanted nothing to do with.
    Before Obamacare took over in 2014, I was constantly answering questions from people looking for hope in a hopeless situation. They were uninsurable by the current standards of health insurance underwriting.
    The best options they had were to rely on the misleading promises of guarantee issue indemnity plans and piece together discount cards for different services.
    A hodgepodge of healthcare.
    What Changed My Mind?
    A lot has happened during the first three years of Obamacare. Sure, there are no more hopeless cases of uninsurability. But, as a result, plans have changed and prices have gone up (not including tax credit subsidies).
    There’s a good chance you’ve had to make a substantial compromise with your health insurance plan over the last few years, if you have one at all.
    One of those compromises might have been to go without copays for your prescription medication.
    Facing Reality
    Seeing you struggle, stress and come close to tears dealing with the reality of your situation, I had to climb down from my high horse and help.
    I couldn’t ignore and turn my nose up at these discount programs anymore.
    Any little bit that could help, needed to.
    I just had to find a legitimate option and sift through the empty promises and false hope.
    The New Benefits Drug Card
    That’s when I found this free discount card offered by New Benefits. It’s accepted at over 60,000 pharmacies across the country, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreen’s, Target and Giant Eagle. The saving can range from 10 to 85 percent on most medications.
    You can check the prices of your own medications, but I wanted to give you a quick example.
    A 20 MG, 30 day supply of Lipitor cost $385.78 at Walmart if you were paying the cash price. Using the free New Benefits discount card that price drops to $350.99.
    It gets even more interesting when compare the cost of Lipitor’s generic alternative, Atorvastatin. Its cash price is $30.96, but with the discount card you would only pay $6.89 at Walmart.
    That means, if we do some simple math, if you need the Lipitor brand name, you would save $34.79 a month or $417.48 a year (you basically get more than one month free). The generic would save you $24.07 a month or $208.84 a year (or nine and half months free).
    The crazy part, that is a straight net profit into your pocket because the card is free.
