Speaker Hastert's Prescription
Drug Action Team
On May 1st, Speaker Dennis
Hastert announced the creation of a Prescription Drug Action
Team to promote House Republican principles to strengthen
Medicare and establish a prescription drug benefit for
our nation's seniors.
The Speaker's Action Team is
committed to passing legislation to create a Medicare
prescription drug coverage and help senior citizens improve
their quality of life with more dignity, security and
independence. The House Republican plan will be based on
the following four principles:
- Lower the costs of
prescription drugs now;
- Guarantee all senior citizens
prescription drug coverage under Medicare;
- Improve Medicare with more
choices and more savings; and,
- Strengthen Medicare for the
future.
As a member of this team and an
optometrist who practiced in the Third District of Arkansas
for 25 years, I have seen firsthand how important Medicare is
to Arkansas's seniors. I look forward to working with my
colleagues on the Speaker's Action Team to deliver a permanent
Medicare prescription drug benefit that our seniors
deserve.
