520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. LACK OF DRUG COVERAGE PUTS RELIEF OUT OF REACH -- "Just when an explosion of new medications is radically changing health care, older Americans...are finding that the health plans they rely on for prescriptions are pricing these wonder drugs out of reach. Medicare health maintenance organizations...are capping drug benefits and limiting which drugs they will pay for. Medigap insurance policies, which supplement Medicare coverage, are boosting premiums to unaffordable levels. And employers, who have provided many retirees with generous insurance packages, are no longer promising baby boomers that they will receive the same benefits." (KANSAS CITY STAR) This article relays the frustrations of many older Americans who, despite having Medicare coverage and prescription drug benefits, remain unable to meet their exorbitant medication fees.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. DESPITE HIGH HOPES, DRUG PLAN MAY BE DISAPPOINTMENT TO ELDERLY -- "The new Democratic majority in the Senate is struggling to deliver a prescription drug benefit for the nation's elderly. But even the most generous benefits now under consideration will fall short of what many of the elderly expect, some lawmakers and health policy experts say." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article addresses the dilemma regarding how Congress can possibly cover the "soaring costs of prescription drugs for the elderly" with "the limited federal money set aside to pay for them.".
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. STATES TACKLE SENIORS' HIGH PRESCRIPTION COSTS -- "Even as Congress and the White House continue to debate the fine points of federal legislation designed to give seniors a break on the high cost of prescription drugs--months after the issue surfaced as a major presidential campaign issue--a number of states have moved forward with their own prescription for the problem." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines various ways in which individual states are tackling the problem of seniors' exorbitant prescription costs.
