“I am here tonight to rise in support of seniors all across Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District and seniors all across America who will continue once again tonight to go to bed unable to either afford their medicine or afford to take it properly. I have seen too many seniors come through the door who have been to the doctor. Medicare has paid for them to go to the doctor, Medicare has paid for the tests to be run on them at the doctor's office or the hospital, and, as a result of all that, the doctor concludes that a senior citizen needs a certain prescription drug in order to get well or live a healthier lifestyle. They come through the door of our pharmacy and pharmacies throughout America to learn that they either cannot afford their medicine or cannot afford to take it properly. This is America, and we can do better than that by our seniors.”
