What I love about our Maine Township Republican incumbent team is that we find innovative ways to solve real problems–at no cost.  Here’s an example of a program that I wholeheartedly supported with my vote as a Maine Township trustee.  Many seniors manage as best they can with a fixed budget, but that has become more and more difficult with the challenges in our economy.  When the state cut aid to seniors with prescription coverage under Medicaid, the Maine Township Board decided to find a solution:  the Coast2Coast Rx Card.  By enrolling in this program, residents gain deep discounts on thousands of medications.  It offers:

• Savings on medication costs for all Maine Township residents, regardless of income, age or health
• No eligibility requirements and is available at thousands of participating pharmacies and covers over 60,000 drugs, including generics
• Potential savings over health insurance plans (check with your provider), even though designed for those without health insurance
• No expense to township taxpayers.  In fact, the township will eventually receive a royalty on each prescription filled, saving taxpayers even more.

This program can save township residents up to 75% off their drug cost.  This kind of creativity has helped Maine Township, unlike other local governments, reduce its tax levy by 25%.  Help us support seniors and keep these important, no-cost programs going by voting in the local Illinois election on April 9, 2013.  Punch #81.  Your vote counts!
