I want to point out something here that continues to be talked about in the low-income seniors being given total prescription drugs. The problem is in the bill that we are talking about, it does not waive the asset test that beneficiaries would have to meet in order to get their benefits. So in fact the number of people who would qualify for the low-income benefit would actually be much less.
