JULY 29, 2015 -- The National Grange has recently joined a large number of patient health and elderly care organizations on a letter to the U.S Congress opposing proposals to weaken programs for seniors and persons with disabilities.
One of these proposals would mandate rebates on Medicare’s Part D drug program. But these are not rebates to patients as one might assume. This money would be treated as a tax paid by drug manufacturers direct to the Federal Government with no resulting new drug development or lower patient prescription costs. |
