Free Viagra, Lipitor: layoff deals
Pfizer is offering free Viagra, Lipitor and other drugs to recently unemployed workers who meet certain conditions, according to the Associated Press.
According to the story, you won't be able to pick up free pills if you haven't been using them before:
"The world's biggest drugmaker will provide more than 70 of its prescription drugs at no cost to unemployed, uninsured Americans, regardless of their prior income, who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on the Pfizer drug for three months or more".
Add them to the list of layoff specials offered by many businesses around the country, including Virgin Mobile's offer to cover cell phone bills for folks on monthly plans, car manufacturers eliminating your monthly payments or Jos. A. Bank refunding the price of a new suit.
The story explains that the offer comes in the wake of lots of criticism of the drug manufacturing industry's practices and prices, especially as more folks find themselves unemployed, and uninsured, due to the recession.
