CanAmerica Global Offers Affordable Pharmaceutical Coverage to Small Businesses and Individuals.

CINCINNATI -- In today's economic climate, small business owners are finding it difficult or impossible to offer health coverage benefits to their employees. Many businesses are cutting back on employee health coverage or dropping it altogether.

According to the National Coalition

for Health Care, www.nchc.org, the premiums for employer-based health insurance rose by 11.2 percent in 2004, the fourth consecutive year of double-digit increases. Retail prescription prices increased an average of 7.4 percent a year from 1993 to 2003, more than double the average inflation rate.

As a result many firms are opting for less coverage and higher premiums / co-pays, and prescription medication coverage is often the first to go. This increases the financial burden on many workers, who require medication for themselves or for loved ones.

"CanAmerica Global has been offering a Prescription Drug Cost Saving Solution to Small businesses and individuals for several years now," said William Pigden, for CanAmerica Global. "Our program is good as a stand-alone plan or as a supplement to other plans where pharmaceutical care is required."

"There is no cost to the employer, and the user only pays when they actually purchase medication. We have no contracts, dues, or premiums. It's simple, and the savings are both immediate and substantial," Pigden said. "Our members save 40-70% off retail prices, depending on their medications. These savings are the same no matter how small your workforce, indeed, we welcome individuals as well."

Although nearly 45 million Americans are uninsured, the United States spends more on health care than other industrialized nations, and those countries generally provide health insurance to all their citizens.

CANAMERICA Global operates a member card program, which allows residents of the United States of America to order medications and other products from discount USA and International mail order pharmacies.
