The Benefits:
Campaign Contributions and Prescription Drug Coverage

The cost of prescription drugs keeps increasing, particularly for our nation's older Americans. Some four million seniors lack credible prescription drug coverage.[i] Many seniors, particularly those with low incomes who rely on Social Security to make ends meet, use the Medicare Part D government drug program to get needed prescriptions. They faced drug price increases almost four times faster than overall inflation rates between February 2006 and 2007.[ii] With 46 million uninsured Americans[iii], and millions more who do not receive sufficient coverage, affordable prescription drugs would benefit many Americans. Yet year after year, the cost keeps going up.
