“The objective of the study is to test the effectiveness of Pharmacare. We are focusing on people with type 2 diabetes, as an archetypal chronic disease for which medications are an essential part of high-quality care. In this pilot study, we will be testing the feasibility of our proposed study. Patients who do not have prescription drug insurance will be randomized to receive free access to glucose-lowering drugs, glucose test strips, antihypertensives and statins, or to continue to have to pay for their medications as usual. The information we gather from the pilot study will be used to create the full large-scale study that will measure clinically important endpoints (like rates of complications) and cost-effectiveness. “
