Lost your job? Get wood!
Free Lipitor, Viagra, other drugs for jobless
TRENTON, N.J. – Pfizer Inc. says it will provide 70 of its most widely prescribed prescription drugs – including Lipitor and Viagra – for free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance.
The world’s biggest drugmaker said Thursday it 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.
The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession and a campaign in Washington to rein in health care costs and extend coverage. The move could earn Pfizer some goodwill in that debate after long being a target of critics of drug industry prices and sales practices.</em>
Yeah, I imagine free boners will cause “goodwill”!
