On the recordFebruary 11, 1999

All across this country, as we speak, seniors are not following their doctors' orders. Some of them have been given prescriptions which they cannot afford to fill. Others have filled prescriptions which they cannot afford to take as directed. What happens is, because they cannot pay the rent, pay the electrical bills, buy food and take very expensive prescription drugs, they are out there taking one pill out of three, mixing and matching. They are doing things that in the long run really are detrimental to their health.
