That is why we elected to leave that program intact, and instead focus on expanding coverage to seniors whose income is too high for PACE and to families who lack prescription plan coverage, said the Chester County lawmaker.
Most seniors live on a monthly budget.
It only makes sense to work within that same framework. The plan also includes an outreach, or marketing, provision to ensure that seniors eligible for assistance know about the program. The second component of the landmark proposal addresses working families who lack prescription coverage and who face monthly drug costs of several hundred or even thousands of dollars. According to recent projections, about 2.1 million Pennsylvanians age 19 and over have no prescription coverage at all. Those lacking coverage pay the actual cost, the dollar amount seldom noticed on most prescription bags, said Taylor.
