Today, I found a Lifescript article on RA that  you don't want to miss if you have any chronic medical condition. Besides information on the importance of early diagnosis, the article includes links for discount drug programs that can help reduce your cost of medications and even medical procedures. Something new I learned in the article was that in some states patients can qualify for assistance even if their income is 200-300% over the poverty level.  With medical costs today skyrocketing, it's important to check for any programs or services that you might qualify for.
