What are you doing to fix the Medicare Prescription Drug Program donut hole?
The House health care reform bill eliminates the donut hole by 2019. [The donut hole is the coverage gap in the Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Part D). Under Part D, Medicare does not contribute toward the cost of drugs when some individuals annual drug expenses fall into a certain range.] I strongly support fixing the donut hole so that Washington state seniors are no longer faced with paying thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket drug costs.
