“Republicans believe that no senior citizen or disabled American should be forced to choose between buying food or buying the prescription drugs necessary to keep them alive. Prescription drugs have become a major component of quality health care in America, and they have saved and improved many lives. But these miracles frequently come with a substantial price tag, one that many Medicare recipients on fixed incomes cannot afford without insurance. Republicans believe the way to solve this dilemma is to create a fair and responsible prescription drug plan that is affordable, available, and voluntary for all Medicare beneficiaries. It is the right and moral thing to do. By making prescription drug coverage accessible to everyone. Republicans want to make sure that no senior citizen or disabled American falls through the cracks.”
