As the presidential election heads for the final stretch, both candidates are crisscrossing the country pitching their version of a prescription drug benefit to senior voters. According to the report, the two presidential candidates have distinctly different views for providing prescription drug coverage for the nation's elderly. Governor Bush, following the recommendation of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare, proposes to allow the elderly to enroll in the same kind of comprehensive health plans available to the non-elderly, so that seniors would have one plan with one premium. The NCPA report looks into the implications and consequences of these two approaches. To receive a copy of the report or an executive summary, contact Sean Tuffnell in the Communications Department.
