Description: 

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels announced the launch of a new Web site to help Indiana residents find discounted or no-cost prescription drugs. The Web site asks users for age, income and insurance information to determine their eligibility for low-cost drugs. Patients and doctors can enroll in discount programs through the Web site or by calling a toll-free number. Daniels said that he opposes programs that help residents purchase medications from abroad, saying that he didn't want to take the chance that anyone is hurt by counterfeit or expired medications.

The Las Vegas Sun reports that Daniels is a former executive with Eli Lilly and Co., and the web site indicates that it a collaborative effort of a group of pharmaceutical companies and health organizations.
