50+ Group Says Yes to Medicare Proposal
According to DrugNewswire.com, William Novelli, CEO of senior citizen's lobbying group AARP, issued a statement in support of the new Medicare drug proposal recently passed in the House of Representatives.
The proposal requires the government to negotiate prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients.
Novelli's statement applauds the House for trying to help seniors get
affordable health insurance and urges the Senate to do the same, "Making prescription drugs more affordable is just one of the building blocks needed to ensure that Americans have the health and financial security they deserve."
President Bush says he'll veto the bill because competition between private companies reduces prices and increases the availability of a wide range of prescription drugs.
It'll be interesting to see how President Bush and the new Democratic Congress will handle their opposing views on this health insurance act.
Supporters of the bill hope that the government will be able to negotiate lower prescription drug rates and get rid of the coverage gaps that exist in the current Medicare drug plan. One way to protect yourself against the current gaps in coverage is to get medicare supplemental insurance that will pay for medical expenses that Medicare doesn't cover.
Affordable health insurance quotes can usually be found online, so make sure you compare a variety of plans to get the coverage you need.
