Yolo County Kicks Off New Drug Discount Card Program

This week, Yolo County launched the Coast2Coast Rx discount prescription card program. Under the program -- which covers more than 60,000 medications -- residents could save an average of 55% on some brand-name drugs and 75% or more on some generic medications. The program also offers discounts for lab and imaging tests, as well as vision and dental services. Although the program is designed for uninsured and underinsured individuals, it is open to all residents.
