For millions of Americans over 65_the key to a better, healthier life is
found in prescription drugs. But many say those medications are simply
too expensive.
The President says he has the answer_a benefit to cover prescription
drugs for everyone on Medicare.
The prescription drug benefit is the cornerstone of the President's
Medicare reform plan. Participation would be voluntary. And seniors
would still have to pay 50-percent for their prescriptions. AARP
lobbyist Tricia Smith says_it's the right idea.
Tricia Smith/ AARP : IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO HAVE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN MEDICARE BECAUSE IT IS GOOD MEDICINE)
Opponents of the President's plan don't argue many seniors need help.
But they say it's impossible to offer a prescription drug benefit to
everyone on Medicare without throwing the program into further crisis.
Bob Moffit/The Heritage Foundation: WE OUGHT TO TARGET THE RESOURCES. TARGET THE HELP TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST
Sen. Phil Graham/ R-Texas WE'RE PROMISING SOMETHING, CLEARLY, WE CAN'T DELIVER
But the President insists it can be done_by using part of a predicted one-trillion dollar budget surplus. And even opponents of HIS
plan seem to agree Medicare will likely cover prescription drugs in the
future. The question is how and for whom.)
