Updated Car Safety Seat Laws for Oregon
July 17, 2007 by Kenneth Carlson, MD
As of July 1st, 2007 the laws governing car safety seats in Oregon was updated. The new law is compatible with previous national recommendations from AAP and NHTSA. Motor vehicle collisions is the number one lethal accidental cause of death for children.
Infants (less than one year old)
Infant seats need to be rear facing until the child is 20 pounds AND one year old. This better protects children during high speed head on collisions.
Oregon Prescription Drug Program
July 10, 2007 by Kenneth Carlson, MD
If you find yourself with high co-pays or no insurance the following programs may be helpful.
As voted for in recent election the Oregon Prescription Drug Program is getting started. This is a program to create discounts for prescription medications for Oregonians. To learn more and sign up visit the official web site. Their site claims up to 60% discount with best discounts on generics.
Walmart also has a program that offers many commonly prescribed medications at $4. Wal-Mart official page lists medications included in the program. The majority of generic medications that have been on the market for a while.
Free Meds and Solutions is a clearinghouse for many discount prescription programs from drug companies. I know of at least one family that was able to get their medication through this site.
We have not directly evaluated any of these program and are not affiliated with them in any way. Hope you find them helpful for your family.
