Established in December 2007, the Florida Discount Drug Card can provide savings for Medicare beneficiaries who do not have prescription drug coverage or are in the Medicare prescription drug plan coverage “gap.”  There is no enrollment fee and the card can be used at all participating pharmacies.  For consumers 60 and older, there is no income limit. Potential savings range from 5% to 42% on virtually all brand and generic drugs
