“I told them I would fight for their interests in Congress. I told them I would work to strengthen and secure Medicare for generations to come, and I told them I would fight for a new prescription drug benefit under Medicare. Mr. Speaker, these days I return to my home State of Alabama having followed through on that promise. Thanks to the leadership of President Bush and a bipartisan group of Members of Congress, the seniors in my home State of Alabama will soon have a prescription drug relief benefit. It comes not a moment too soon. Alabama seniors all across the Third Congressional District continue facing high drug costs. Fortunately for our seniors, relief is on the way. Beginning in May, Alabama seniors will see immediate relief through a voluntary prescription drug discount card. Seniors who choose to enroll in this benefit will see discounts of up to 25 percent with this drug card. This means that on a $100 monthly prescription, seniors will save $25. This is a 100 percent voluntary program.”
