East Iowans call for Medicare prescription coverage
Senior residents travel to Canada and Mexico for cheaper prescriptions and save money despite travel costs. Cedar Rapids attorney Martha Quint notes an eightfold rise in elder debt tied to prescriptions, with debts often five to eight thousand dollars. Pharmacist Dean Willis sees many seniors strained by costs and doctors offering generics or samples. Quint and Willis see Clinton proposals as possibly helpful but uncertain, while Leta Wall continues advocacy for state funded aid.
