Lawmakers debate prescription card bill in failed 1999 push
Cole defends a proposed prescription card bill amid critics who warn of higher drug costs. He notes bipartisan co sponsorship and says the bill would widen consumer options but would require patients to pay the difference when using non plan connected pharmacies. Opponents include AARP and a pharmacy lobbyist who warn of a $65 million impact. The measure stalled after committee phases and is likely revisited if Cole is re elected.

Cole, openly gay, emphasizes equal rights, while Cahaney cites past unsuccessful runs. District leans Republican since 1952 with Republicans outnumbering Democrats by about 11,000. Myrick remains a strong incumbent with solid name recognition.
