These stories are heartbreaking, devastating, and we really need to do something to protect people.

This new law will bring relief to seniors by lowering their expensive drug costs.
We want to keep them from moving, if we can, to a nursing home or some of those, and keep them either independent or with their family where it is much better.
That seems like this great overall comprehensive project and group, and I think that is what gives you so much success.
No senior should be forced to choose between paying for life saving medication or keeping their lights on.
I am relieved that Congress just passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which will help lower costs for Nevada's seniors.
It will remove stress and burden from providers because you don't want to go in with the disappointing news, so that is going to make your ability to care for patients so much better.
I have one more question for you. Well, we have a bunch more to go through, but I was a caregiver for my parents and in-laws as they aged, so I understand that aspect, but have you seen the high cost of prescription drugs?
AARP has been fighting for decades to make prescription drugs more affordable, which is why we pushed so hard for drug pricing provisions in the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
If you are estimating about $15,000 a month, and we are going to put in a $2,000 a year cap, that is just about $167 a month.
Mr. Kline, all these vaccinations are going to be free, so how are you going to be sure that you get the word out to all the seniors, even more working with your partner agencies, every senior in Nevada that who wants one can get one free…
Medicare is finally, finally going to be able to use its purchasing power to deliver those lower costs for seniors.
We are going to ensure that all seniors receive all their vaccines at $0 cost sharing, free, free.
I am so incredibly proud of the work that Nevada Senior Services does to help educate, advocate for seniors.
The Inflation Reduction Act, which has just been signed into law last week, will cap out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 per year and cap insulin at $35 per month for people on Medicare, which is a life changing amount for folks like me.
Thank you, Senator Rosen and the congressional Democrats, for working to pass this legislation, which is critical.
