The National Association of Counties Board of Directors recently approved a new agreement with Caremark for the NACo Prescription Drug Discount Card Program. Under the new agreement, a county can choose either the traditional model or the new revenue sharing model. Under both programs, cards are distributed in each county and can be used by residents to receive a discount on prescriptions that are not covered by insurance, including pet medications.

Off-System Bridge Program

Posted Date: May 9, 2012

The Senate-House Conference Committee on the reauthorization of the surface transportation program met for the first time yesterday. Nothing substantive occurred and it will now be up to staff to work out the necessary compromises that could lead to the legislation being enacted. As you know, NACo was successful in getting Senators Blunt (R-MO) and Casey (D-PA) to successfully offer a bipartisan amendment to restore off-system bridge funding to the Senate bill. It is essential that the Senate language prevail in the Conference Committee, which would mean that approximately $650 million in federal off-system bridge funds would be available annually, much of it going to counties.
