TRENTON, N.J. - Pfizer Inc. is unveiling a new program that will let people who have lost their jobs and health insurance keep taking some widely prescribed Pfizer medications , for free, and for up to a year.
Pfizer will provide more than 70 prescription drugs , from Lipitor to Viagra , at no cost to unemployed, uninsured Americans.
People who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on Pfizer drugs for three months or more are eligible.
