Remember People with Medicare in Health Care Reform
Urge your senators and representatives to remember people with Medicare as they work to reform our health care system. Tell them that high-quality, affordable health care for older adults and people with disabilities should be a key part of health care reform.
Urge Congress To Enact a Medicare Drug Benefit
Senator Richard Durbin and Representatives Marion Berry and Jan Schakowsky have introduced the Medicare Prescription Drug Savings and Choice Act, which would provide an affordable drug benefit directly through Medicare. Urge Congress to take action on this vital legislation, which would lower drug costs, reduce the complexity of current drug coverage options, and ensure Americans with Medicare have access to a guaranteed drug benefit operated by the federal government.
End the Two-Year Waiting Period
Though Medicare covers people with serious disabilities, they cannot receive coverage until after they endure a two-year wait. It’s time for change. Tell Congress to support legislation eliminating the two-year waiting period.
