Too Many Seniors Left Out...

This is bad, really bad. Is caring about these things what fascists do? If it is, then I am...

Families USA: "The new Medicare prescription drug program, which began on January 1 of this year, is leaving at least 4.7 million low-income seniors without the benefits they are entitled to. According to the Social Security Administration, only 1 million low-income seniors out of a pool of 5.7 to 6.6 million have been approved to receive low-income drug subsidies.

Now that the benefit has begun, this is no longer a question of what could happen but a question of what is happening to millions of low-income seniors who aren’t getting the help they need. Without such subsidies, purchasing needed medicines is simply unaffordable for those low-income seniors."
