Many seniors and disabled are now finding they have to pay the full cost of their prescriptions due to the Medicare coverage gap, which is a very scary proposition for those on fixed incomes. Members of Congress interact with thousands of constituents each day, and can help by encouraging them to talk to their doctors about switching to low-cost, effective drugs so they don’t have to choose between their needed medications and basic necessities.
