| Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC):
There is important legislation before the state government and we urge you to
call your elected representatives in support. Senate Bill S 4603 and Assembly
Bill A 5422 calls for the expansion of EPIC, a program that helps keep
prescription drug co-pays affordable.
- The bill keeps the application a simple process,
- ensures that a cost of living benefit change does not throw someone off
the program, and
- allows Medicare enrollees under age 65 to apply.
This is legislation StateWide wrote after hearing about problems on our Help
Line. We should all remember the EPIC program was created by StateWide's
advocacy efforts.
We would like you to call your State Senators at 518-455-2800 and Assembly
members at 518-455-4100 and ask them to support the legislation by
co-sponsoring the legislation. |
