“after years of rhetoric and empty promises on improving health care, on June 1 seniors will finally be able to save money on their prescription drugs by choosing a drug discount card that best suits them. This is only possible because the Republican Congress and President Bush passed bipartisan legislation that modernizes Medicare and provided a real prescription drug benefit that means immediate savings for seniors across the Nation. While some Members are engaging in partisan scare tactics in an election year, they cannot stop seniors from discovering true savings through the discount cards in less than a month. Seniors can choose with confidence because each card program will be monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services and can expect savings from 10 to 25 percent on drug costs. Seniors who want more information on the drug discount cards can log into www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE. In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11.”
