The Income Seniors Bill
Low-income seniors could get more Medicare drug help
Relative to financial eligibility for the Medicare savings program.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would drop asset limits and let more low-income seniors qualify for help paying prescription drugs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
More seniors could afford needed medicines, but the state will need to spend extra money, so voters should watch the cost and support the aid.
