Protect Seniors' Healthcare Benefits

Support Senator Kennedy's legislation to end the Medicare "doughnut hole"

To hold the cost of Medicare Part D down, Republicans invented the "doughnut hole" - a large gap in coverage after it reaches a certain level. Millions of Americans who signed up for the plan are about to tumble into that gap. The Stabenow-Kennedy bill will establish a standard prescription drug benefit administered directly by Medicare. Seniors who choose this option will have a modest deductible and co-payments for prescriptions, without any gaps in coverage.
