Pfizer, one of the world's largest drug makers, just announced that it will provide seventy of its most popular prescribed prescription drugs, including Lipitor and Viagra, free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance. They will give away the medicines for up to a year to Americans who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on the Pfizer drug for three months or more.
Finally, somebody is helping out laid off guys by giving them something the possibility of being more laid than off. Hopefully, they'll be responsible and not become the next Jon from the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
Dr. Jorge Puente, Pfizer's head of pharmaceuticals outside the United States and Europe said, "Everybody knows now a neighbor, a relative who has lost their job and is losing their insurance. People are definitely hurting out there. Our aim is to help people bridge this point."
They will certainly help some guys "bridge" while they are sitting home searching the Internet for work or whatever else interests them. They might also bring some joy into the lives of the women who have to live with those men.
Applicants will have to sign a statement that they are suffering financial hardship and provide a "pink slip" or similar employer notice. Applications will be accepted through Dec. 31, with medication provided for up to 12 months after approval or until the person becomes insured again. How about until the guy stops taking his Viagra every day and gets back to work?
Patients can call 866-706-2400 to sign up, and those whose drugs are not included in the program will be referred to other company aid programs. Starting July 1, patients can also apply through the Web site, www.PfizerHelpfulAnswers.com, which also has information about the other Pfizer aid programs.
May more corporations recognize the massive suffering so many people face and take action to help them. And may each of us do what we can to give our fellow humans the support they need each day.
