“When it comes to prescription drugs, we need a benefit program under Medicare for senior citizens and those eligible for Medicare; and at the same time, we need to address the issue of costs and bring down costs for all Americans because increasingly more and more people cannot afford to pay for prescription drugs and go without. And I also add, the real problem here is the brand-name drug companies. They are artificially keeping the price of prescription drugs high in order to make even more profit than they would normally make.”
