www.SafeSourceRx.com Launch

Launch of www.SafeSourceRx.com addresses need to provide access to safe, low-cost prescription drugs for millions of Americans including un- and under-insured, American families and ages
50-64

In the confusion surrounding the flawed Medicare Prescription Drug Card Part D program, an overlooked fact is that major segments of the American public are being denied access to safe, low-cost prescriptions.

Millions of Americans in the 50 to 64 age group, the un- and under-insured, and families whose budgets cannot stand the impact of excessive pricing practices of large drug manufacturers have no ability to purchase necessary prescriptions to protect their health-at least until now.

With the launch of www.SafeSourceRx.com, a new and innovative web site, Americans will have access to global sources of safe, affordable prescriptions irrespective of where they live and without requirements of enrolling with a particular group, or paying premiums.

The site is the result of an effort by the Congress of California Seniors to provide an innovative site that blends the outreach of the Congress with the experience of a leading mail order pharmacy. The organization will continue its leadership on seniors' advocacy issues, but says that utilization of www.SafeSourceRx.com will be available to any American citizen that needs access to safe, affordable prescription drugs.

"Significantly, there will be no requirements for enrollment in a plan or organization or dues or fees," a spokesman said.

"www.SafeSourceRx.com has established a global network that provides prescription drugs manufactured under the oversight of the U.S. ad Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is time for the drug manufacturers to let the American public know that most of the prescription drugs they manufacture and sell come from around the world.

"Unlike the drug companies which charge excessive prices and pocket the profits, www.SafeSourceRx.com will pass along the savings to those millions of Americans who otherwise would be denied the health benefits of prescription drugs."

The spokesperson noted that the absence of comprehensive prescription drug coverage, even with or perhaps in light of the flawed Part D plan, continues as a major concern for millions of Americans.

"The fact is that prescription drugs play an increasingly crucial role in modern medicine and in people's ability to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. But, a prescription that is unaffordable is unavailable."

He cites studies that reveal that nearly six million men and women in the 50-64 age group are uninsured, and those who are insured tend to go without needed medical care, including prescriptions that could contribute to the health and well-being.

"Added to this is the large number of un- and underinsured of all ages, including American families faced with responsibilities for children or caregiving for an elderly parent. They make it abundantly clear of the need for a site of the scope and capabilities of www.SafeSourceRx.com," the spokesperson said.

"The site combines affordable pricing with the strictest health care professional standards, and the outreach to better inform Americans of the things they need to know to not only improve their health, but to better understand the things they can do to help change the shortcomings in the U.S. healthcare system."
