Prescription drug assistance program for the elderly.

Summary

The bill would establish a prescription drug assistance program administered by the Division of Aging for Indiana residents who are at least 65 years old and not enrolled in Medicaid. Eligible seniors would apply, pay a $30 enrollment fee and an income‑based deductible, and receive a drug card that provides low copays for generic ($5) and brand‑name ($15) prescriptions. A dedicated fund would support the program and fraud would be punishable as a Class A misdemeanor.
