Ada County Commissioners Share Their Thoughts

 

Ada County Commissioner Kendra Kenyon spoke about the impact of this program. "As a county commissioner, I have witnessed firsthand how limited access to prescription drugs and healthcare affects our court system, the people who rely on county services and the individuals attempting to provide those services." She continued, "for those who do not have an employee provided healthcare, a discount on prescription and healthcare."

Ryan Davidson, Ada County Commissioner, we are pleased to help counties alleviate expenses, especially when so many families are struggling to keep up with rising healthcare costs."
