..pregnant women and moms with new babies under 2 mos old get med coupons only.....kids up to 18 get med coupons....NO able bodied adult gets it unless theres an emergency. I worked with a young immigrant woman who had HANSENS disease ( leprosy!). THANK GOD the gvnt had the brains to permit her to have med coupons to get her medicine. Also thank goodness there are free clinics like Farmworkers Clinic and Neighborhood Health to take care of folks. They are going to be increasingly impt since taking advantage of life saving resources such as medical coupons can apparently make you not worthy of being an American.
